The growing interest in Automated Mobility on Demand (AMoD) services in passenger transportation necessitates accurate forecasting for successful deployment. However, the paucity of real-world data is a significant challenge. In this study, we present a unique technique for developing a synthetic user population tailored to AMoD car services. We identify possible passengers using selection criteria such as age, gender, activity status, and income, and then utilize a multi-agent simulation tool to define passenger movements within the AMoD service and plan out daily journeys. Additionally, a spatiotemporal analysis reveals use patterns that are well captured by Machine Learning models such as Random Forest, XGBoost, Neural Networks (NN), and Linear Regression (LR). Finally, by estimating spatio-temporal demand for automated cars, our model gives critical insights into the ideal allocation of fleet resources, thereby advancing the progress of AMoD transportation systems.
