Summary:Mobility is a concept which is studied in many research areas as astronomy, sociology, physics, and so on. Urban mobility study aims at looking and designing human displacements in an urban environment. In the literature, two main kinds of mobility are emergent: macroscopic displacements and microscopic movements. Our study takes place at the boundary of them. We want to describe human displacements in a city by describing their behaviours. We use multi-agent systems (MAS). People behaviours depend on many parameters like social class, geographical location... So we need to look at these elements. In this article, we suggest a meta-model which intends to organise agents into groups. This tool is associated with another one which intends to define mobile behavior. These meta-models are encapsulated in a method which helps simulator creations.
