Traffic Shifts in a Comprehensive Truck Toll System A Real-World Multi-Agent Based Simulation Case Study

摘要

As part of a project which deals with comprehensive free-flow toll systems for trucks and buses, a multi-agent based simulation model was developed. This model is used here to discuss the general development process for multi-agent based simulations which map real-world situations and whose results are the foundation for real-world decisions. It will be demonstrated that developing such models is a demanding task, requiring detailed understanding of the relevant reality and meticulous work.
