BACKGROUND West Nile Virus (WNV) was first isolated in 1937. Since the 1950s, many outbreaks have occurred in various countries. The first appearance of infected birds in Manitoba, Canada was in 2002. OBJECTIVE This paper describes the data preparation phase of setting up a geographic information system (GIS) simulation environment for WNV Agent-Based Modelling in Manitoba. METHODS The main...

As engineers are confronted with designing increasingly complex systems composed of interconnected components of diverse nature, traditional methods of modeling and analysis become cumbersome and inefficient. In the paper we discuss one of the approaches to modeling and distributed simulation of hybrid (discrete/continuous) systems. We use hybrid state machines, where sets of algebraic-differen...

Research in this paper is focused on the modeling and simulation for distribution service network (DSN) of comprehensive passenger transport hub (CPTH). Firstly, based on the theory and method of complex network, the conception of DSN is proposed. Secondly, the model of DSN is build which consists of distribution entity topology network, distribution transport function network and distribution ...

The role of education services in the global competitiveness of Ukraine was shown. A specific of educational services, educational services market structure and characteristics of its subjects was reviewed. Analysis of survey results on the effect of different channels of knowledge enrollees on the university was held. The advantage of impact the social of the channel from the inner circle of e...

Under the background of urban rail transit’s rapid development, urban rail transit station, as the only connection of urban space and rail transit, undertakes the responsibility of traffic organization and passenger volume distribution. Influenced urban realm around station becomes the focus of the optimization of the sustainable urban development. Pedestrian microscopic simulation method estab...

With the increased integration of renewable energy sources the interaction between energy producers and consumers has become a bi-directional exchange. Therefore, the electrical grid must be adapted into a smart grid which effectively regulates this two-way interaction. With the aid of simulation, stakeholders can obtain information on how to properly develop and control the smart grid. In this...

In contrast to already established tools for health technology assessments, Prospective Health Technology Assessment (ProHTA) uses hybrid simulation techniques to make early predictions about the effects of new healthcare innovations. In such studies, it is necessary to consider problems at high abstraction levels, as well as at detailed microscopic levels. According to the diversity of expecte...

This study investigates electric vehicles battery recycling problem. In this study, based on Agent theory and Anylogic platform, Agent model of battery recycling is built. We have done simulation for electric vehicle batteries recycling: this paper analyses the influence that factors (battery renovation rate, quantities of electric vehicles, electric vehicle lifetime, battery lifetime, battery ...

The techniques of simulating modelling in the AnyLogic program environment are considered. object study is production task a machine tool with computer numerical control (CNC) pilot batch (PBP), characterized by variety products and small size. To build digital work model, variant parallel chains events chosen, reflecting technological processes manufacturing each part equipment changeover. pap...
