Mitsuo, Kishi with Hosoda Ryusuke, Yamada Tomoki and Funahashi Hiroki, "Transport Forecasting Based on Artificial Life Concept", 1995
ua435
A system dynamics model based on Artificial Life (AL) concept is proposed for transport forecasting. The proposed model focuses on the economic behaviour which emerges out of the interactions among individual local objects, i.e. economic units. That model is merely a large aggregation of simple programs which specify how that local object react in the environment. Application examples are provided to illustrate the applicability of the proposed model.
