One of the interesting aspects in the interaction between two cities or among cities is the commuter, people that do commuting every day. It is similar to a sharing of the population between two areas that bind together. A covalent bond might be the analogy in the chemical world. Usually, there is one city as the center of a commuting system, where the others are considered as a satellite city. The commuters are represented as agents in the simulation, where they commute between their home and workplace. This approach is known as an agent-based model. The average movement from point i to point j in a day will be the component mij in the origin-destination matrix (ODM), which is usually obtained from survey or observation. In this work, we would like to show that using ABM the ODM can be derived. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
