What is Agent-Based Modeling?

Traditional transport models often treat traffic as a fluid flow. TransitFlow takes a different approach. We use Agent-Based Modeling (ABM) to simulate the actions and interactions of autonomous agents to assess their effects on the system as a whole.

Bus Agents

Autonomous vehicles with specific capacities, speeds, and schedules that react to road conditions and passenger demand in real-time.

Passenger Agents

Individuals with unique origins, destinations, and "patience" logic. They make decisions on whether to board or wait based on crowding.

The Network Environment

A simulated database of stops and routes where agents interact, allowing emergent phenomena like "bus bunching" to naturally occur.
