N2 - This paper is the first work to replicate and simulate urban dynamics by learning individuals’ decision-making processes and creating human-like agents from GPS data. We develop a novel agent model by learning from historical data via reinforcement learning techniques. We test our methodology in different scenarios at the citywide level using real world smartphone GPS data. Simulation results show that our agents can successfully learn and generate human-like travel activities. Furthermore, the performance of synthetic urban dynamics significantly outperforms existing methods.
