Passenger distance [pkm]

I'm trying to decide whether MATSim is the right choice for modeling multimodal traffic choices of agents in urban quarters. Desired output is the modal split expressed by passenger distance [pkm] based on agents' choices in a given network (and thereafter with measures).

Does MATSim log passenger distance [pkm] per mode (e.g. car, truck, bike, bus, walk) by default? To which output file?

For all output files that MATSim generates by default, please see Chapter 2.2.3. in the MATSim book (http://matsim.org/the-book).

Amongst others, MATSim generates by default

• a file called  traveldistancestats.txt  that logs passenger distance (in meters) per iteration and 
• a file called legHistogram.txt that logs numbers of travellers that start trips, end trips, or currently are en route by time bin and by mode.

In a similar way, you can also log distances by modes separately, but might need to write a short Java class that do this based on events (everything that happens in the simulation is logged as an event).
