Abstract :
This paper MAGISTIC (MA-Multi Agent, GISTIC-Logistics) provides a survey of existing research on agent-based approaches to transportation and traffic management. Main focus of the paper is transport industry although we have touched other fields like medical and engineering. Idea behind research is to find out how agents are involved in logistics and what benefits they are providing us. A general conclusion from our study is that agent-based approaches seem very suitable for this domain, but concerns like security of MAS at big organizations creates misconceptions in the society that need to be addressed.
