CALM: A Calibrated LLM Choice Network Framework for Activity-Based Traveler Simulation

CALM is a reproducible hybrid framework that combines an optional large language model (LLM) activity planner with calibrated stochastic choice, shared network feedback, memory and habit, typed feasibility checks, and deterministic offline replay. It executes a closed traveler‑day loop and evaluates each generative module against an empirical, reproducible baseline, using the 2024 New York City Citywide Mobility Survey data. The framework demonstrates significant improvements in mode‑choice accuracy, quantifies trade‑offs through live‑LLM ablation, and supports controlled stress testing and deterministic replay of downstream simulations.

CityReal: Human-Aligned Urban Behavior and City Dynamics Simulation with Large-Scale LLM Agents

CityReal is a modular framework that uses large language model agents to simulate human-aligned urban behavior. It models agents as intention-driven decision makers who pursue coherent mobility and activity plans, learning habits and preferences over time. By training textual adapters to align agent decisions with observed population statistics, CityReal improves realism at both micro and macro levels and can scale to tens of thousands of agents for analyzing crowd density, place popularity, mobility flows, and well‑being under various urban scenarios.

Fine-tuning LLMs for Tourist Trajectory Prediction using Field Experiment Data

The paper demonstrates that fine‑tuning large language models (LLMs) on local tourist trajectory data can predict visitor movements under varying conditions. Using 566 trajectories from Wakayama Castle Park, Japan, the authors fine‑tuned Llama‑3.1‑8B, achieving 49.1% accuracy for next point‑of‑interest predictions and maintaining strong performance even on undersampled scenarios such as rainy days. This shows that LLMs can serve as high‑fidelity, context‑aware behavior models for tourist prediction and enable counterfactual analysis of mobility interventions.

Distilling Aggregate Mobility Statistics into a Language Model Policy for Post-Event Crowd Simulation

The paper presents a method to align a language‑model‑based crowd agent with aggregate mobility data by fine‑tuning it to match observed destination compositions derived from origin‑to‑destination flows. The approach uses iterative proportional fitting to reweight the model’s destination distribution and corrects for dominant destination inflation by training a low‑rank adapter on resampled trajectories. Experiments on mobile network counts from two baseball games show a 25% reduction in destination‑share error while maintaining similar grid correlation across policies.
