Input Data

Input data refers to external information or data that is used to inform or parameterize the model.

Introduction

anytime series data that effect model dynamics throughout the simulations

Explanation

Input data can include empirical data, statistical datasets, GIS data, or any other relevant information that helps make the simulation more accurate or realistic. Input data may be used to calibrate or validate the model, define initial conditions, or provide context for the behavior of entities or the environment. Properly incorporating input data enhances the fidelity of the model and strengthens its connection to the real-world system under study.

Examples

In ITC Evacuation Model:

  • Spatial data: all environments require data
  • Number of agents to create: variable- Number of officers
  • The speed with which people move when evacuating
  • Information on min. and max evacuation time
