 *UXsim* can be used by any user who has basic Python skills and an interest in traffic.
 It can be used for various purposes, such as university education and as an experimental environment for researchers in fields like civil engineering, urban planning, operations research, computer science, and others.

 *MATSim* [@matsim] is a more strategic-level transportation simulator that aims to simulate activity-travel behavior.
 In fact, a certain mode of *MATSim* uses models that are equivalent to those in *UXsim*.
-However, *MATSim* focuses more on holistic mobility, including people's travel decisions and mode choices in multi-modal transportation systems, rather than just traffic flow.
