Abstract

This paper introduces a new trip simulator, ROOTS. ROOTS creates moving objects with distinct characteristics in terms of driving style and route preference. It also creates a road network and associates each road with some characteristics. The route taken and the moving object speeds during the trip are determined based on both the characteristics of the moving object, those of the road being travelled, and other contextual data such as weather conditions and time of day.
