چکیده

Traffic simulations in current open world video games and driving simulators are still limited with respect to the complexity of the behavior of simulated agents. These limitations are typically due to scarce computational resources, but also to the applied methodologies. We suggest adding cognitive components to traffic agents in order to achieve more realistic behavior, such as opting for risky actions or occasionally breaking traffic rules. To achieve this goal, we start by adding a personality profile to each agent, which is based on the “Five Factor Model” from psychology. We test our enhancement on a specific traffic scenario where simplistic behaviors would lead to a complete standstill of traffic. Our results show that the approach resolves critical situations and keeps traffic flowing.

Communication-Aware Traffic Stream Optimization for Virtual Machine Placement in Cloud Datacenters with VL2 Topology

By pervasiveness of cloud computing, a colossal amount of applications from gigantic organizations increasingly tend to rely on cloud services. These demands caused a great number of applications in form of couple of virtual machines (VMs) requests to be executed on data centers’ servers. Some of applications are as big as not possible to be processed upon a single VM. Also, there exists severa...

Spatial Cognitive Simulation Using Informed Virtual Geographic Environments

In this paper, we address two challenging issues underlying spatial cognitive simulation using software agents immersed in Virtual Geographic Environments (VGE). First, the way to describe virtual VGE models using accurate spatial decomposition approaches structured using graph theory techniques. Second, the use of graph abstraction techniques to realistically support advanced navigation and pa...

Spatial Plans, Communication, and Teamwork in Synthetic MOUT Agents

Previously we reported on the use of Cognitive Architectures in providing realistic training opponents for virtual training in military operations in urban terrain (MOUT). That report detailed the use of ACT-R, the Unreal Tournament platform, a mapping agent for extracting cognitive primitives, and a brief description of a basic scenario involving agents within the MOUT context. This report ext...

Social Learning and Adoption of New Behavior in a Virtual Agent Society

Social learning and adoption of new behavior govern the rise of a variety of behaviors: from actions as mundane as dance steps to those as dangerous as new ways to make IED detonators. However, agents in immersive virtual environments lack the ability to realistically simulate the spread of new behavior. To address this gap, a cognitive model was designed that represents the well-known socio-co...

A Car Driver’s Cognition Model

1. Abstract There is a basic need in transportation planning and traffic engineering for developing and testing traffic models of different granularity. Although our major interest is the replication of traffic within larger areas, both the current research on traffic safety and the desire to improve the quality of microscopic simulations makes it necessary to deal with the car driver’s cogniti...
