Objective This paper aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the current state of agent-
based models, focusing specifically on their application in urban transportation research. It …

Crowds are a feature of large cities, occurring not only at mass gatherings but also at routine
events such as the journey to work. To address extreme crowding, various computer models …

The application of agent-based modelling (ABM) to simulating dynamics within geographical
systems has seen a considerable increase over the last decade. ABM allows the …

This book has emerged through years of discussions, comments and questions we have
received about building agentbased models and integrating geographical information …

New forms of representation at a fine spatial scale, in which units of space are conceived as
cells and populations as individual agents, are currently changing the way we are able to …

This paper is about the information‐theoretic foundations upon which useful explanatory
and predictive models of dynamic geographic phenomena can be based. It traces the …

The agent-based modeling is now widely used to study complex systems. Its ability to
represent several levels of interaction along a detailed (complex) environment …

Complexity, complex systems and complexity theories are becoming increasingly important
within a variety disciplines. While these issues are less well known within the discipline of …

Despite a burgeoning research effort directed at the design and modelling of effective urban
spaces for pedestrians, remarkably little is known about how pedestrians actually negotiate …

The remarkable developments in tracking technologies over the past decade have opened
up a wealth of possibilities in terms of research into tourist spatial behaviour. To date, most …
