This contribution contains code to simulate social decision processes in MATSim, as described in this PhD Dissertation.
Allows to represent agent coordination, for social travel and activities. The most important part of this extension is a modification of the MATSim co-evolutionary algorithm itself, allowing to represent joint decisions, that is, agreements that have an influence on the utility of a day.
