Urban Simulation Modeling with AnyLogic

Modern cities rely on predictive analysis to streamline traffic, manage pedestrian crowds, and optimize public infrastructure. Simulation modeling gives urban planners and analysts the power to test complex scenarios safely in a virtual environment before real-world implementation. This text-based course introduces you to the core principles of urban simulation using AnyLogic. You will start with fundamental concepts and terminology before exploring practical frameworks used to represent dynamic city environments. What you'll learn: - Understand foundational concepts, terminology, and key stages of simulation modeling. - Explore discrete-event and agent-based modeling methods for urban systems. - Analyze pedestrian movement, transit flows, and capacity bottlenecks through structured scenarios. - Integrate spatial data and GIS mapping techniques into modern simulation models. - Configure model logic, state charts, and variable parameters in AnyLogic. - Evaluate simulation outputs to make data-informed decisions for urban design. The curriculum progresses naturally from core definitions and theoretical concepts to detailed, step-by-step model construction and logic building. Designed specifically for beginners, this course requires no prior experience in simulation software or advanced programming.
