Abstract

The driving profile generator is a tool to generate an arbitrary number of car driving profiles such that the resulting profiles are in the same form as those reported in the latest German Mobility Panel (MOP), a large field study that reports car mobility for about 12.000 individuals in Germany. The profile generator described in this report is able to generate simulated driving patterns for four different groups of persons: employees, part time employees, retired people, and unemployed people. Each generated profile comprises all car movements of an individual within one week. For each of these trips several different pieces of information are provided, in particular the start of the trip, the duration of the trip, and the kilometers driven throughout the trip. To make the generated driving profiles follow patterns similar to those in the empirically observed driving profiles of the MOP, the panel's database has been statistically analyzed and the results are used as the basis for the profile generator.
