A simulation-based model for dynamic traffic assignment on guided vehicles

This article presents a simulation-based model to dynamic assignment of guided vehicles over a parallel network. The simulation was constructed while following a routing game model and has been implemented on the multi-agent simulation platform JADE. The model follows an integrated assignment simulation framework which assigns guided vehicles, that communicate with a coordinator agent related to the infrastructure, on the network in order to minimize the total travel time of each vehicle while keeping the network in an equilibrated or near-equilibrated state.
