Effective cooperative entities in a transport multimodal information system using mobile agents

A Multimodal Information System aims to provide transport customers pertinent real time information during their travels. The world Multimodal means different types of transport devices but we choose to expand accessible services to various kind of information (transport, weather, stock exchange, itinerary, traffic, perturbations...) in order to provide travellers required information in any chosen data format, taking into account their mobility. However, the exponential growth of services and information providers available on large networks such as the Internet make the realisation of the expected structure very difficult. Therefore, the complexity of such systems can be properly described in terms of interaction between different kinds of autonomous entities. In this context, we propose a multi-agent system describing agents’ behaviours and interactions, using several approaches such as evolutionary algorithms and mobile agents’ technology which are already published in previous works. In this paper, we focus on the internal structure of our proposed system and we detail behaviours of agents responsible of the data
