Modeling Multi-agent System of Management Road Transport: Tasks Planning and Negotiation
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Management Systems of Road Transport (MSRT) must include responsibility for planning the routes and schedules of vehicles fleet involved in the road haulage, distribution and logistics. It must ensure that all operations are carried out in maximum safety, environmental controls and traffic congestion, driver hours, customs requirements, and minimum cost. The complexity of the real-time scheduling of transport orders which comes in an asynchronous and dynamic way makes the MSRT especially suitable for using techniques from Distributed AI. To manage this complex field addressed under a high degree of dynamism and uncertainty which is characterized by an inherent distribution of knowledge and control, we propose in this work, a modeling of an MSRT by a multi-agents system, the modeling of the agents and their interaction by AUML language and we deal with the cooperation during tasks planning in the MSRT.

Considering the increasing occurrences of unexpected events and the need for pre-crisis planning in order to reduce risks and losses, modeling instant response environments is needed more than ever. Modeling may lead to more careful planning for crisis-response operations, such as team formation, task assignment, and doing the task by teams. A common challenge in this way is that the model shou...
متن کاملImproving Agent Performance for Multi-Resource Negotiation Using Learning Automata and Case-Based Reasoning
In electronic commerce markets, agents often should acquire multiple resources to fulfil a high-level task. In order to attain such resources they need to compete with each other. In multi-agent environments, in which competition is involved, negotiation would be an interaction between agents in order to reach an agreement on resource allocation and to be coordinated with each other. In recent ...

Path planning in robotic agents consists in determining, on a network of places and routes modeling the environment, a sequence of resources to be visited in order to carry out a set of tasks. In multi-agent systems, agents may cooperate to decrease the task execution costs; the Contract Net Protocol is an approach to negotiation of tasks based on the announcement-bid-award mechanism. If the ag...
متن کاملMulti-Agent Path Planning Based on Task-Swap Negotiation
Symbolic path planning in autonomous robotic agents is the search, on a network of places and routes modeling the environment, for a sequence of routes which enables an agent to execute a set of interrelated tasks. When several agents are present in the environment, each having been assigned a set of tasks, the adoption of coordination mechanisms allows the task-execution costs to be decreased....
