Abstract

When modeling mobility in urban scenarios, uniform distributions of the destinations can only be realized when geographic restrictions are considered. We present a straight-forward approach using maps (such as OpenStreetMap (OSM)) to get the desired distributions. Following this approach, it is possible to generate destinations and movements following arbitrary distributions. We present a proof of concept by visual evaluation. Furthermore, we show that the street density distributions have an impact on scenario modeling.
