Geosimulation
The geosimulation site is a collection of pages focused on recent innovative advances in the research and development of spatial simulation technology and its application to the study and planning of urban systems.
The site is maintained by Paul M. Torrens, Assistant Professor in the Department of Geography at the University of Utah. The site includes a list of links to Web-based resources for Artificial Life, cellular automata and cellular automata simulation, multi-agent systems and (...)
Inventur
A database presenting details of urban models in a pre-defined standardised format.
The database is the fruit of a study undertaken under the Inventur (Inventory of urban models) research programme coordinated by Daniel Siret, of the CERMA research centre in Nantes, France. This programme, undertaken within the framework of the CNRS research programme Management of models and know-how - urban applications, which created a survey instrument and a typology of urban models, of all kinds. (...)

Read the following... LIBERGEO Research Group
The Modelling Group (Groupe Modélisation) is a part of the French research council (CNRS) funded LiberGEO research group. It provides an arena for the scientific exchange and cooperation on the theme of spatial modelling.
The group is founded on the principle that as long as intellectual property rights with respect to models are respected, all research benefits as much from exchanges about the concepts and hypotheses as from the exchange of algorithms and software.
The group wishes to (...)
Modèle de croissance urbaine : l’exemple de Rouen
Le modèle repose sur l’idée selon laquelle la croissance urbaine, mais aussi de nombreux autres processus géographiques, peuvent s’expliquer par des règles spatiales simples, formulées à partir de nos connaissances empiriques mais néanmoins explicatives de la dynamique spatiale car résultant de la pratique sociale.
Ce modèle, de type automate cellulaire, est construit sur un paradigme très général, qui déborde du cadre de la modélisation urbaine, celui de la concurrence spatiale entre (...)
CalCom: Calculating the Attractiveness of Retail Clusters
Author of the model: Cécile Tannier (ThéMA, University of Franche-Comté, Besançon, France)
Creation date: 2000
CalCom is a decision making tool designed for calculating the [hyp222; attractiveness] of retail clusters of a city for several types of retail outlets looking for a convenient settlement site. The [hyp184; model] has been calibrated for French towns which size is comprised between 100 000 and 1 000 000 of inhabitants.
CalCom is based on a fuzzy formalisation of the evaluation of the (...)
SimNoise: Simulating the Impact of Noise Annoyance on Intra-urban Residential Migration
Authors of the model: Cécile Tannier and Hélène Houot (ThéMA, University of Franche-Comté, Besançon, France)
Creation date: August 2003
The goal of the SimNoise model is to evaluate the impact of traffic noise on residential [hyp209; location dynamics]. It allows the calculation of the probability that the agents living in a given spatial unit will leave this location because of traffic noise.
The mathematical formalisation of the SimNoise model is of a probabilistic nature. The basis for (...)
CamDeus: Cellular Automata Models to Design Environmental and Urban Systems
Creation date: 2002
The CamDeus program is a software inspired by a coupling: raster GIS technology and cellular automata. It is dedicated to the simulation of urban dynamics and can be used to test scenarios of territorial development, according to the past states of the territories or to political planning. It is a stand-alone software with user-friendly interfaces, conceived to be handled by persons who do not necessarily totally master the mathematical principles of the [hyp184; models] (...)
Peuplement: Simulation of Size Differenciated Urban Growth
Author of the model: Jean-Luc BONNEFOY (University of Aix-Marseille, France)
Creation date:
initial: 2001
of this version: 2001
Starting from a pattern of cities of identical sizes, the model shows differentiated urban growth in a space where the flow of migrants is either constant or variable. The model is of interest because it shows the relative speed with which urban differentiation emerges with respect to two variables:
the role of the positions (rank) of the cities,
the wages. (...)

Accessim (French version)
AccesSim est un outil pédagogique permettant de simuler les déplacements des individus. L’objectif de ce travail est de montrer que la répartition spatiale des services ou équipements est le plus souvent inégale, et que leur [hyp30; accessibilité] est différente selon les territoires.
AccesSim permet de tester et d’expérimenter, avec la simulation informatique, la fréquentation de boulangeries dans un contexte urbain.
Il simule en temps réel le comportement d’agents :
des agents (...)
