Multiagent-Based Modeling and Simulation of a Coal Multimodal Transport System

With the change in coal supply and demand, dynamics of multiple transit nodes connection between different transportation modes make Coal Multimodal Transportation System (CMTS) more complicated long-distance coal. Therefore, it is necessary to analyze multimodal nodes, build a model, measure network throughput through simulation experiments, identify system bottlenecks. The CMTS complex nonlinear dynamic with many participants uncertain links. Different modes, operation links, processes will affect performance, modeling technology effectively study systems. This paper takes as research object, uses agent-based methods Witness software composition mechanism CMTS, establishes multiagent model validates by experiment northern shipped south. results indicate capacity transport route resource utilization case demand growth rates future. Based on andWitness results, this provides practical support for constructing applying library basis decision-making plan.
