Evolving Individual Behavior in a Multi-agent Traffic Simulator
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we illustrate the use of evolutionary agents in a multiagent system designed to describe the behavior of car drivers. Each agent has the selfish objective to reach its destination in the shortest time possible, and a preference in terms of paths to take, based on the presence of other agents and on the width of the roads. Those parameters are changed with an evolutionary strategy, to mimic the adaptation of a human driver to different traffic conditions. The system proposed is then tested by giving the agents the ability to perceive the presence of other agents in a given radius. Experimental results show that knowing the position of all the car drivers in the map leads the agents to obtain a better performance, thanks to the evolution of their behavior. Even the system as a whole gains some benefits from the evolution of the agents’ individual choices.

When systems are modeled, different techniques are used. Computer simulation is one of these techniques. It draws attention since it makes it possible to model a system that might be real or theoretical, to execute the model on a computer, and to analyze the output of the execution of the model. Execution of a model on a computer develops through time, i.e. the states of the different parts of ...
متن کاملReinforcement Learning of Traffic Light Controllers Adapting to Traffic Congestion
Due to the increasing amounts of traffic in and around urban areas there is a growing need for intelligent traffic lights that optimize traffic flow. In this paper we describe the optimization of traffic light controllers using a multi-agent, model-based reinforcement learning or approximate real-time dynamic programming approach. Our methods optimize individual traffic lights locally, but the ...
