Dynamic Data Driven Multi-agent Simulation in Maritime Traffic

This paper proposes a framework of the dynamic data driven multi-agent simulation system (Gary M. Pereira, 2007) in maritime traffic domain. It presents a survey on the current developments of maritime traffic simulation. Multi-agent templates have been devised to capture the knowledge of how the individual agents interaction in pursuit of the shared goals to solve the complex problems of port maritime traffic. This presents the potential to transform the way maritime traffic simulations are done, and creates new capabilities for maritime traffic applications.
