摘要: |
To support agricultural logistics and energy development, road and bridge infrastructure has been in North Dakota due to the recent oil boom and the long-term importance of the agricultural industry. With the advance of simulation and data mining, the agent-based model (ABM) has emerged as a solution. Agent-based modeling techniques reflect a high level of detail for travel patterns in a region or state. This research will review state-of-the-art ABM in transportation, determine an agent鈥檚 travel behavior in rural and small urban freight movement, design a multi-agent system, and investigate applicability of the agent鈥檚 travel behavior to statewide freight demand mode. This paper outlines an agent-based freight transportation model of the grain upstream supply chain for Cass County in North Dakota. The objective is to develop a model incorporating stochastic variables to capture the uncertainties each entity faces, and consequently the effects of variables and strategies on traffic flows. This model simulates a robust level of the decision-making process at a granular level to assess the impact of cargo policy at local, state, regional, and national scales. |
