Automating Urban Cartography: A reproducible method for Agent-Based Simulation with QGIS and GAMA

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: This work presents a methodology for constructing two functional graphs—one for the roadnetwork and one for the pedestrian network—using data obtained from Open Street Map, pro-cessed and edited in QGIS and implemented in GAMA. Proper structuring of these graphsensures realistic vehicle and pedestrian mobility, guarantees model scalability, and prevents un-necessary overhead. In addition, this approach aims to reduce manual intervention in the mappingprocess, facilitating the reproducibility of the model in different cities and urban contexts.
