Population synthesis¶
Overview¶
As per requested we tried to give doppelganger a try but we were unable to fully test it, as one of the dependencies is not maintained anymore, also the repo it self has not been maintained or updated for the past 4 years.
Alternatives¶
We Asked the following questions.
- What are the alternatives for doppelganger.
- what type op population synthesizers are out their.
- in urban planning what tools are used to make the decision of building some thing ?
just found the following article. [Population synthesis for microsimulation: State of the art] (September 2010)
Alternative 1 : Urban Data Science Toolkit¶
it mentioned UrbanSim as an agent-based microsimulation models for land use, so we decided to give it a try.
Also, finding about the urban planning tools
UrbanSim : Data science, simulation and visualization to learn from the past, inform the present, and shape the future of communities everywhere.
UrbanSim is part of the Urban Data Science Toolkit , Documentation , which is an Open source projects supporting urban spatial analysis, simulation, and visualization.
└──── urbansim : Platform for building statistical models of cities and regions
└──── pandana : Pandas Network Analysis: fast accessibility metrics and shortest paths, using contraction hierarchies 🗺️
└──── orcs : Python library for task orchestration
└──── choicemodels : Python library for discrete choice modeling
└──── urbansim_templates : Building blocks for simulation models
Introduction to the UrbanSim Cloud Platform¶

Alternative 2 : Activitysim¶
the ActivitySim project is to create and maintain advanced, open-source, activity-based travel behavior modeling software based on best software development practices for distribution at no charge to the public.
Is a multi-agency partnership whose goal is to advance travel demand forecasting practice and cost-effectiveness through shared development of software tools and shared agency experience.
