Title: Study on Agent Based Simulation of Bus Rapid Transit System
Abstract: In order to solve the problems existing in the current transit system simulation model, such as complexity to build an analytical model and difficulty to data collection, a simulation model of bus rapid transit system based on agent paradigm is proposed. The passengers, buses and signal lights are abstracted as different agents. Vehicle scheduling agent and station management agent are also introduced. The situation of bus rapid transit system is simulated through the interaction among agents. In order to solve soaring passengers’ problem in some stations, this paper proposes a vehicle scheduling algorithm based on dynamic adjustment to reduce the waiting time of passengers. The experiment and analysis show that the system not only can simulate the situation of bus rapid transit system actually, but also can supply references to utilize bus resources reasonably.
