Problems involving path planning, exploration, and related activities abound in the world of computing. This paper develops a novel model for realizing ant-inspired algorithms that coordinate robots within fixed, geographically constrained environments ("factory/laboratory/warehouse floors") and...

We introduce a stochastic model to study the problem of time evolution and outcome of simple two-party competitions or battles on a lattice where each party randomly deploys its constituents or elements to the lattice. The elements have assigned strength levels that determine how competitive or...

A simulation of pedestrian evacuation from a room with asymmetrical exit layout is presented based on the improved Dynamic Parameter Model in this paper. A special technique is introduced to compute two basic dynamic parameters: Direction-parameter and Empty-parameter considering the effects of...

A theoretical model of uni-directional ant traffic, motivated by the motion of ants in trail is proposed. Two different type of ants, one of which smells very well and the other does not, are considered. The flux of ants in this model is investigated as functions of the probability of...

In this paper, the delay probability of the original Nagel and Schreckenberg model is modified to simulate one-lane traffic flow. The delay probability of a vehicle depends on its corresponding gap. According to simulation results, it has been found that the structure of the fundamental diagram...

Many complex train operation plans are being implemented in practice because more and more railway transit networks have been constructed and put into use, and thus a certain train’s failure will cause more harmful influence on the efficiency and safety of the overall railway transit system....
