A human-in-the-loop simulation was conducted to evaluate a concept for introducing multi-sector trajectory planning operations into en route air traffic facilities in the NextGen Mid-Term timeframe. Multi-sector planning tools and procedures for local area traffic flow management were developed, and then tested using two different service provider team configurations. In one condition, local ar...

This paper discusses site selection process for biological soil conservation planning. It was supported by a valuefocused approach and spatial multi-criteria evaluation techniques. A first set of spatial criteria was used to design a number of potential sites. Next, a new set of spatial and non-spatial criteria was employed, including the natural factors and the financial costs, together with t...

We propose ParleE, a quantitative, flexible and adaptive model of emotions for a conversational agent in a multi-agent environment capable of multimodal communication. ParleE appraises events based on learning and a probabilistic planning algorithm. ParleE also models personality and motivational states and their role in determining the way the agent experiences emotion.

Aiming at the problem of multimodal transport path planning under uncertain environments, this paper establishes a multi-objective fuzzy nonlinear programming model considering mixed-time window constraints by taking cost, time, and carbon emission as optimization objectives. To solve model, is de-fuzzified expectation value method chance-constrained method. Combining game theory with weighted ...

The use and coordination of multiple modes travel efficiently, although beneficial, remains an overarching challenge for urban cities. This paper implements a distributed architecture eco-friendly transport guidance system by employing the agent-based paradigm. paradigm uses software agents to model represent complex infrastructure environments, including roads, buses, trolleybuses, metros, tra...

Energy planning is at the top priorities of local authorities nowadays. Problems such as the depletion of natural resources, the wellbeing of human population and the security of energy supply have became the main drivers to change the current fossil fuel-based energy paradigm. In order to put into practice energy planning processes at the local level, there is a need to provide support methods...
