Peer-to-Peer Negotiation for Optimising Journeys of Electric Vehicles on a Tour of Europe: Demonstration

摘要

Real-world transportation networks provide rich and complex environments, well-suited to the deployment of multi-agent systems. In this demonstration, we simulate a population of electric vehicles making a journey between two cities. The challenge for the vehicles lies in making decisions of how best to recharge their batteries using the small number of charging stations that are available on their route. We investigate several scenarios that use a combination of conventional planning techniques alongside automated negotiation, and evaluate their effects on the efficiency of the system.
