I'm creating a movement digital twin
Below is an agent based model (ABM) simulation of the Seoul CBD (1,000 agents over a typical weekday across 16 hours).
This is built to demonstrate a realistic, purpose-driven human movement grounded in spatial-analytics laws and official transport/land-use data.
What it currently demonstrates: Tobler/distance decay, gravity/spatia-interaction destination choice, intervening opportunities, central-place hierarchy, mode-friction, stochastic utility-maximisation - all implemented.
A calibrated agent based simulation can expand a static "average flow" maps with behavioural micro-simulation. We can measure second/third order effects by seeing how agents react to major planning changes, macro changes, new developments, infrastructure impacts etc
The below is just the start. Next is to expand this to the city, the country, and then the world.
