Hybrid model for CO2 emissions in the city of Bogotá.

Abstract

In this study, a hybrid model was built for projecting emissions of carbon dioxide CO2, bearing in mind that it is considered a contaminant type atmospheric greenhouse gas. To develop this model, the study started on a causal diagram of System Dynamics (SD) and complemented with Agent-Based Simulation (ABS), using data from the Ten-Year Plan for Air Depollution in Bogotá (PDDAB)[1]. Simulations were performed with the software NetLogo 5.01, which showed a difference of more than 30% of emission compared to those of PDDAB[1]. This study is a preliminary result towards the construction of hybrid models.
