This paper describes the process followed to calibrate a micro-simulation model for the
Altmark region in Germany and a Derbyshire region in the UK. The calibration process is
performed in three main steps: first, a subset of input and output variables to use for the
calibration process is selected from the complete parameter space in the model; second, the
calibration process is performed using a genetic algorithm calibration approach; finally, a
comparison between the real data and the data obtained from the best fit model is done to …
