This paper explores the use of cooperative, distributed multi-agent systems to improve dynamic routing and traffic management. On the supply-side, real-time control over the transportation network is accomplished through an agent-based distributed hierarchy of system operators. Allocation of...

Pedestrian flow is inherently complex, more so than vehicular flow, and development of microscopic models of pedestrian flow has been a daunting task for researchers. This paper presents the use of Cellular automata (CA) microsimulation for modeling bi-directional pedestrian walkways. It is...
