Modeling on agent-based Artificial Public Transportation

This paper studies the application of the Agent technology in the public traffic system. By definition of the structure and characteristics of the Agent, the communication type and language that used in Agent to Agent and Agent to environment, the Artificial Public Transportation System(APTS) model based on the Agent is proposed and the system is developed on the computer. The consistence of the artificial system and the real system in the part of macro-function and macro-behavior is tested via a simple computational experiment.
