Simulation Reproducibility in Transportation Science

Dear Transportation Science Researcher, We are excited to invite you to participate in a crucial survey exploring the issue of reproducibility in simulation studies within the field of transportation science. Reproducibility forms the cornerstone of modern scientific methodology, ensuring that findings can be verified and built upon. In the rapidly evolving field of transportation, simulations have become an indispensable tool for researchers. However, we have noticed that most simulation studies in transportation lack a Data Availability statement or online repository containing simulation models, data, and source codes, essential for reproducibility. Our survey aims to investigate... - the perceived magnitude of the issue, - underlying causes, and - potential solutions to address reproducibility challenges in our field. This brief survey will take approximately 5 minutes of your valuable time. Your participation is voluntary, and all responses will be kept strictly confidential. Your insights will contribute to a better understanding of reproducibility and help shape future practices in our field. Your expertise is invaluable in advancing this critical aspect of transportation science research, and we sincerely appreciate your time and contribution. Thank you for your participation in this important endeavour, Sincerely your, Kevin Riehl (Institute for Transport Planning and Systems, ETH Zürich) [email protected]
