Abstract This paper describes a development of an
advanced traffic simulator based on a multi-agent approach
which is named MATES (Multi-Agent based
Traffic and Environment Simulator). City traffic phenomena
are essentially regarded as complex systems consisting
of a number of human beings. Each element creating
traffic phenomena such as car (driver), traffic signal,
pedestrian and others is modeled as an intelligent
agent that possesses its own logic of behavior and preference.
The environment surrounding each agent consists
of other cars, road network, traffic signals, pedestrian
and others. Interaction among numerous agents simulates
nonlinear behaviors of city More >
