Agent-Based Approaches to Transport Logistics

  • Conference paper
Applications of Agent Technology in Traffic and Transportation

Part of the book series: Whitestein Series in Software Agent Technologies ((WSSAT))

Abstract

This paper provides a survey of existing research on agent-based approaches to transportation and traffic management. A framework for describing and assessing this work will be presented and systematically applied. We are mainly adopting a logistical perspective, thus focusing on freight transportation. However, when relevant, work of traffic and transport of people will be considered. A general conclusion from our study is that agent-based approaches seem very suitable for this domain, but that this still needs to be verified by more deployed system.
