Multi-agent systems for simulating traffic behaviors

Multi-agent systems allow the simulation of complex phenomena that cannot be easily described analytically. As an efficient tool, the agent-oriented traffic models have emerged to investigate vehicular traffic behaviors. In this article, a new agent-based traffic simulation model is proposed for solving the traffic simulation problems. A vehicle with the driver is represented as a composite autonomous agent in this model. Different from the classical car-following principles, vehicle-agent moving approaches...
