Potencjał systemów wieloagentowych w zastosowaniu do eksploatacji systemu transportowego

Streszczenie

W artykule omówiono możliwość zastosowania dostępnych obecnie rozwiązań z agentami programowymi w transporcie, koncentrując się na zastosowaniach do planowania systemów transportowych, sterowania nimi, monitorowania i analizy stanu nawierzchni kolejowej, a także możliwymi zastosowaniami do planowania prac utrzymaniowych.

Słowa kluczowe

agenty programowe, kontrola, planowanie, symulacja, systemy wieloagentowe
