AI frameworks for urban network calibration, control, and activity-based traveler simulation

Two independent research papers introduce novel AI frameworks for urban mobility. One paper proposes using deep meta-models and multi-agent reinforcement learning to accelerate calibration and improve control in urban networks. The other presents a calibrated LLM choice network framework to enhance the realism of activity-based traveler simulations by modeling complex human decision-making.
