Markdown versions of documentation pages are available by appending `.md` to page URLs; this page is available as [Markdown](https://docs.metacity.cc/metacity/archives/amos/matsim/running-example/config-file.md). # Config File Our up-to-date configuration file that holds all the stored parameters for the simulation is updated and maintained here: ## Default Configuration File The list of available parameters and valid parameter values may vary from release to release. For a list of all available settings available with the version you are working with, run "DefaultConfig.java" in the Metacity-MATSim module. ## Configuration File The configuration file consists of *modules.* Each module represents a logical parameter group. Numerous MATSim modules can be added to MATSim and configured by specifying the respective configuration file section. ## Modules List of modules to configure in our Prague scenario ### global ``` randomSeed coordinateSystem numberOfThreads - for parallel event handling insistingOnDeprecatedConfigVersion ``` ### controler ``` outputDirectory firstIteration lastIteration compressionType dumpDataAtEnd routingAlgorithmType - the Fast versions takes up more memory overwriteFiles createGraphs writeEventsInterval writePlansInterval writeSnapshotsInterval writeTripsInterval ``` ### qsim ``` startTime endTime - should be specified so the simulation does not run forever for agents with faulty plans flowCapacityFactor - scales the capacities of the routes accordingly storageCapacityFactor - tested for flowCapacityFactor^(0.75) snapshotperiod mainMode - modes that use routing in qsim (usually car) linkDynamics trafficDynamics usePersonIdForMissingVehicleId numberOfThreads - for parallel QSim vehiclesSource - specifies whether only vehicle types are used or more detailed type for each vehicle ID (see Vehicles) insertingWaitingVehiclesBeforeDrivingVehicles ``` ### network ``` inputNetworkFile - path to MATSim network ``` ### plans ``` inputPlansFile - path to plans/population file ``` ### transit ``` useTransit - specify whether PT should be simulated transitScheduleFile - path to transit schedule file vehiclesFile - path to vehicles file routingAlgorithmType - the type of transit routing algorithm used (default: SwissRailRaptor) transitModes - for public transit equals to "pt" ``` ### facilities ``` todo ``` ### households ``` todo ``` ### vehicles ``` vehiclesFile - file specifying vehicle types (or more detailed their id) ``` ### planCalcScore ``` writeExperiencedPlans fractionOfIterationsToStartScoreMSA - 1 or 0, Forcing Scores to Converge learningRate BrainExpBeta lateArrival earlyDeparture performing marginalUtilityOfMoney utilityOfLineSwitch waiting waitingPt parameterset type="modeParams" - specifies parameters for each leg mode (e.g. car) mode constant dailyUtilityConstant marginalUtilityOfDistance_util_m marginalUtilityOfTraveling_util_hr monetaryDistanceRate dailyMonetaryConstant parameterset type= "activityParams" - must be described for every activity in plans/population file (e.g. home, work, shop, leisure, ...).
