The paper describes how multiagent systems can be used to describe functionality of road traffic control systems. The introductory part contains a brief survey of actually available traffic models implemented in the hybrid compiler/interpreter NetLogo. These models have been studied and used for design of module-like sample codes. Consequently, they have served as basic building blocks when des...

As World population is exponentially increasing big cities face traffic and safety challenges related to railroad and rapid ground transportation projects. For this reason, to avoid collisions and allow a better communication between train, central control headquarters, and passengers new technologies are being developed by means of very sophisticated technologies. This project, being focused i...

The U.S. railroad system is made up of over 700 railroads operating on 140,000 miles of track, with more than 130,000 at-grade public railway-highway crossings, or intersections in which any part of a roadway intersects with railroad tracks. Safety at these railroad-highway grade crossings and the related traffic control devices used to communicate with drivers is of major concern. There are th...

The paper explains a new advanced rail traffic management system that combines real-time rescheduling with an advanced train control tool being developed by the Swiss Federal Railways (SBB) in cooperation with the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH). The system is designed to increase network capacity and stability in heavily used mixed traffic networks while minimizing the cost of new ...

Multi-agent system technology has been proposed to model any systems who's resources are distributed (systems that can be found everywhere in the real world). Through system modeling using this technology the system's flexibility and capacity to resolve unpredicted situations that appear inside it, have been improved. In this article multi-agent systems technology advantages and applications ar...

There are situations where a system in mind needs to be tested before it is built. Using modeling and simulation users can apply realistic interactions with their synthetic environments representing real world. In this study, the synthetic environment is a hardware railroad model representing a miniature of the actual size railroad. Simulation software, used to test the railroad system, consist...

Using modeling and simulation users can apply realistic interactions with their synthetic environments representing real world. In this study the synthetic environment is a hardware railroad model representing a miniature replica of a full-size railroad system under study. The hardware model is tested by means of real-time adaptive software simulator consisting of two subsystems: the virtual ra...

Always on Internet service has become norm and people are able to enjoy anytime, anywhere broadband wireless communication services. With the emergence of smart phone and tablet, wireless network traffic has increased exponentially. Wireless network traffic is expected to continuously increase dramatically as more and more communication capable multimedia devices are expected to be connected to...
