Provide the MATSim version you are using. You can find the version in the pom.xml. E.g. 2025.0.

2025.0

Did you build a minimal example to reproduce the issue?

• Yes!

Describe the problem you are facing.

I want users in my scenario to be able to select a random location within a certain radius, especially when location choice is enabled. Earlier, I was using the following method:

private static void configureLocationChoice(Config config) {
    // Enable the base destination choice module
    FrozenTastesConfigGroup ftConfig = ConfigUtils.addOrGetModule(config, FrozenTastesConfigGroup.class);
    ftConfig.setAlgorithm(FrozenTastesConfigGroup.Algotype.bestResponse);
    ftConfig.setFlexibleTypes("rest");
    ftConfig.setPlanSelector("BestScore");
    ftConfig.setEpsilonScaleFactors("100.0");
    ftConfig.setScaleFactor(10);
}

However, this contrib has now been removed.
My main objective is to enable agents to make adaptive decisions when a time-based restriction is active in the network (e.g., a travel ban from 10:00 PM to 4:00 AM). Instead of traveling during restricted hours and receiving a negative score, I want agents to choose to stay or rest at a nearby location within a certain radius.
Previously, the FrozenTastes module helped with this behavior, and I’ve experimented with it. Now I need guidance on how to achieve similar functionality:

1. Is there an alternative contrib or updated approach for location choice?
2. Can this behavior be implemented explicitly without relying on a contrib?
3. If there are newer changes or replacements for FrozenTastes, what are they?

If possible, provide a link to your minimal example. This might be a GitHub repository.
