• Abstract: Agent-based transportation modelling has become the standard to simulate travel behaviour, mobility choices and activity preferences using disaggregate travel demand data for entire populations, data that are not typically readily available. Various methods have been proposed to synthesize population data for this purpose. We present a Composite Travel Generative Adversarial Network (CTGAN), a novel deep generative model to estimate the underlying joint distribution of a population, that is capable of reconstructing composite synthetic agents having tabular (e.g. age and sex) as well as sequential mobility data (e.g. trip trajectory and sequence). The CTGAN model is compared with other recently proposed methods such as the Variational Autoencoders (VAE) method, which has shown success in high dimensional tabular population synthesis. We evaluate the performance of the synthesized outputs based on distribution similarity, multi-variate correlations and spatio-temporal metrics. The results show the consistent and accurate generation of synthetic populations and their tabular and spatially sequential attributes, generated over varying spatial scales and dimensions.

One model fails to produce data within reasonable time and another generates too many jumps to meet the requirements for map matching.

• Combining propensity score methods with variational autoencoders for generating synthetic data in presence of latent sub-groups [0.0]
  Heterogeneity might be known, e.g., as indicated by sub-groups labels, or might be unknown and reflected only in properties of distributions, such as bimodality or skewness. We investigate how such heterogeneity can be preserved and controlled when obtaining synthetic data from variational autoencoders (VAEs), i.e., a generative deep learning technique.

  Population synthesis involves generating synthetic yet realistic representations of a target population of micro-agents. Traditional methods, often reliant on target population samples, face limitations due to high costs and small sample sizes. We propose a novel framework based on copulas to generate synthetic data for target populations where only empirical marginal distributions are known.

  Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) let one synthesise artificial datasets by implicitly modelling the underlying probability distribution of a real-world training dataset. With the introduction of Conditional GANs and their variants, these methods were extended to generating samples conditioned on ancillary information available for each sample within the dataset. In this work, we argue that standard Conditional GANs are not suitable for such a task and propose a new Adversarial Network architecture and training strategy.
