Coordination of Ambulance Team Agents in Rescue Simulation Using Auction Strategy with Obstinate Agents

摘要

RoboCup Rescue Simulation System is a large-scale, real-time and multi-agent simulation of urban disaster. The problem introduced by RoboCup Rescue brings up several research challenges that goes from Intelligent Robotics to Multi-Agent Systems (MAS) research. The goal is to coordinate and control the emergency services in the city to minimize damage and injuries resulting from the disasters. This paper proposes an agent coordination approach based on an auction strategy for the definition of rescue team agents in disaster environment. The approach is experimented in the context of the RoboCup Rescue Simulation system and its performance is compared with other coordination methods. Finally, some simulation results are documented.
