Route Guidance Strategy Simulation Based on Multi-agent Game Approach

During the process of traffic assignment,user equilibrium(UE) and system optimum(SO) are on behalf of the different benefits of network manager and the travelers.On the basis of comprehensively considering the dynamic interactive characteristics of UE and SO,game theory was applied to the coordination of the two incompatible ideas,and a route choice game model between the network manager and the traveler was presented.In order to validate the feasibility of the model,the multi-agent technology was combined to design corresponding simulation experiments.By using Starlogo,which is a famous multi-agent simulation software,four different simulation scenarios were simulated and compared including non-information without game travel,UE travel,UE-SO coordination travel,and SO travel.Through the analysis of the experiment results,the effectiveness and superiority of the coordination model are demonstrated,which provides reference for the practical guidance strategy.
