Modelling Individual Preferences to Study and Predict Effects of Traffic Policies (2021)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Nguyen, J., Powers, S., Urquhart, N., Farrenkopf, T., & Guckert, M. (2021, October). Modelling Individual Preferences to Study and Predict Effects of Traffic Policies. Presented at PAAMS: International Conference on Practical Applications of Agents and Multi-Agent Systems, Salamanca, Spain

Traffic can be viewed as a complex adaptive system in which systemic patterns arise as emergent phenomena.
