“The US census records home and workplace locations. The game generates millions of commuters with homes from that and then uses a distance-based gravity model to assign them all workplaces … This decision is then made based on how long each commute method takes, how much it costs, and the value of their time (different commuters can have different incomes).” (Translation: The game uses census data to create realistic commuter patterns based on various factors.)
