Generating the Île-de-France population

The following sections describe how to generate a synthetic population using the pipeline. First all necessary data must be gathered. Afterwards, the pipeline can be run to create a synthetic population in CSV and GPKG format. These outputs can be used for analysis, or serve as input to run a transport simulation in MATSim. Also, this guide is the basis for creating populations and simulations of other regions and cities such as Toulouse or Lyon.

This guide will cover the following steps:

• Gathering the data
• Running the pipeline
• Analysing synthetic population
