Abermule Railway Station: Agent-Oriented Task-Centric Empirical Modelling
ثبت نشده
چکیده
This paper presents and discusses an approach to modelling the situation at the Abermule Train Station immediately leading up to the train disaster of 1921. The incident itself is summarised and a modelling approach introduced and presented that is based on the principles behind Empirical Modelling (EM) and yet also around the notion of tasks. A corresponding model, built with EM software tools, is introduced and referenced throughout. The model itself, and the overall approach are evaluated and some comparisons with previous work in the field are included. Significantly, the appropriateness and position of such a task-centric modelling approach within the seemingly non goal-oriented empirical mindset is addressed. Finally, the suitability of current EM tools for such an approach is assessed and some suggestions proposed.

متن کاملTrain schedule coordination at interchange station in an open railway market through agent negotiation
In open railway markets, coordinating train schedules at an interchange station requires negotiation between two independent train operating companies to resolve their operational conflicts. This paper models the stakeholders as software agents and proposes an agent negotiation model to study their interaction. Three negotiation strategies have been devised to represent the possible objectives ...
متن کاملPatterns of Pedestrian Movement in London's Railway Terminus Areas
This chapter is an empirical study and statistical analysis of pedestrian movement in London's railway terminus areas. The main question is how the terminus structures as well as their local urban grid structures differently influence pedestrian movement around the station buildings. Its main objective is to examine the effect of urban spatial configuration on movement (the natural movement) in...
متن کاملRailway Network Modelling Using Petri Nets
This paper deals with the use of Petri nets in modelling railway network and designing appropriate control logic for it to avoid collision. Here, the whole railway network is presented as a combination of the elementary models – tracks, stations and points (switch) within the station including sensors and semaphores. We use generalized mutual exclusion constraints and constraints containing the...
