An Adaptive Agent-Based Approach To Traffic Simulation, Johan Barthelemy, Timoteo Carletti

SMART Infrastructure Facility - Papers

The aim of this work is to present the initial exploration of a behavioural Dynamic Traffic Assignment model, particularly suitable to be used and implemented in agent-based micro-simulations. The proposal relies on the assumption that travellers take routing policies rather than paths, leading us to introduce the possibility for each simulated agent to apply, in real time, a strategy allowing him to possibly re-route his path depending on the perceived local traffic conditions, jam and/or time spent. The re-routing process allows the agents to directly react to any change in the road network. For the sake of simplicity, the agents' …
