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.
