They can be represented as geographic features (typically short segments of road that add up to create a full network) or structured as an interconnected graph, with the level of traffic on different segments referred to as 'flow' by transport modelers [@hollander_transport_2016]

Another key level is **agents**, mobile entities like you and me and vehicles that enable us to move such as bikes and buses.
These can be represented computationally in software such as [MATSim](http://www.matsim.org/) and [A/B Street](https://github.com/a-b-street/abstreet), which represent the dynamics of transport systems using an agent-based modeling (ABM)\index{agent-based modeling} frameworks, usually at high levels of spatial and temporal resolution [@horni_multi-agent_2016].

ABM is a powerful approach to transport research with great potential for integration with R's spatial classes [@thiele_r_2014; @lovelace_spatial_2016], but is outside the scope of this chapter.
Beyond geographic levels and agents, the basic unit of analysis in many transport models is the **trip**, a single purpose journey from an origin 'A' to a destination 'B' [@hollander_transport_2016].
Trips join-up the different levels of transport systems and can be represented simplistically as geographic *desire lines* connecting *zone* centroids\index{centroid} (*nodes*) or as routes that follow the transport *route network*.
