A Hybrid Agent Architecture for Enabling Tactical Level Decisions in Floor Field Approaches

A Hybrid Agent Architecture for Endowing Floor Field Pedestrian Models with Tactical Level Decisions

For a comprehensive modeling of pedestrian dynamics in real-world scenarios the consideration of tactical level decisions in addition to operational ones is necessary. This paper presents a hybrid agent architecture employing a Floor Field approach at the operational level but granting agents an abstract representation of the simulated environment. The paper briefly presents the environmental m...

Adaptive Tactical Decisions in Pedestrian Simulation: A Hybrid Agent Approach

Adaptive Hybrid Agents for Tactical Decisions in Pedestrian Environments

This paper presents a hybrid agent architecture for modeling different types of decisions in a pedestrian simulation system. In particular, the present work focuses on tactical level decisions that are essentially related to the choice of a route to follow in an environment comprising several rooms connected by openings. These decisions are then enacted at the operational level by mean of a flo...

Integrating multi-agent approaches to tactical diversity

We summarize approaches to tactical diversity, mobility and field control developed over the recent years in team Gliders, ranging from tactic-dependent evaluation and selection of players’ actions, to dynamic tactics based on Voronoi Diagrams, to tactical analysis and opponent modeling with information dynamics, to a bio-inspired mechanism for dynamic repositioning. All these approaches are su...

Functional architecture and enabling technologies for distributed shop floor control

The control and functional architecture for shop floor control has been studied to manipulate shop floor resources efficiently. In a hierarchical control system, an upper level controller coordinates the activities of a group of lower level controllers in a master – slave manner. Recently, to overcome its various disadvantages, a distributed shop floor control system (SFCS) has been proposed, i...
