Yes, this is possible. MATSim includes a copy of the required DTD and XSD files, where it will look for in case you are not on-line.

If you experience problem working off-line, try the following steps:

• Make sure your computer is indeed off-line. Sometimes (e.g. in public places), your computer is connected to some WiFi network, but you're not authorized to use it. In such cases, MATSim just sees the available internet connection and tries to download the DTD/XSD files for verification. This will fail, after a rather long time out typically. In such a case, switch off your network interface completely.
• in the top-level directory where MATSim runs, create a directoy "dtd" and copy the missing DTD/XSD files into this directory.
• set the Java system property matsim.preferLocalDtds to true. You can do this when starting MATSim on the command line: java -cp matsim.jar -Dmatsim.preferLocalDtds=true org.matsim.run.Controler myConfig.xml
• If all else fails, change the "SYSTEM" path in your XML files to a local path (filename), not a http path.
