Niklas Dikkafa developed and enhanced multimodal routing and simulation features for the MARS-Group-HAW/model-soh repository, focusing on agent-based modeling and geospatial data integration. He implemented dynamic visitor mobility, integrated GTFS transit and parking data, and expanded support for cars, bikes, and public transport within the simulation. Using C# and GeoJSON, Niklas refactored core layers for extensibility, improved documentation, and optimized routing test performance. His work included robust exception handling, ISO 8601 time processing, and detailed configuration management, resulting in more realistic city-scale event simulations. The depth of his contributions improved data fidelity, maintainability, and simulation realism throughout the project.
