Multi-agent simulation of public transportation

Participant : Vincent Chevrier.

The CUGN (communauté urbaine du grand nancy) possesses a huge amount of data collected from its public transportation network. These data are used to monitor and regulate in real time the trafic of buses and tramways.

In this collaboration, we studied the possibility to integrate these data in a multi-agent simulator in order to reproduce in differed time the functioning of a part of the network and to propose indicators that help to analyse the functioning of the system. A first part of the work was dedicated on the extraction of relevant data from raw ones and on their integration in the simulator. This year, we studied within a student projet different viewpoints to provide an accurate and meaningful understanding of the transportation system.
