Abstract :
Mobility on a traditionally static percolation theory model is investigated. The modification of the percolation theory model to incorporate mobility on the model grid enabled the creation of a simple agent-based model (ABM). This resulted in statistically significant findings that the impact of agent density is inversely related to agent mobility. An interactive graphical user interface (GUI) was developed to provide a visual illustration to convey a comprehension of the ABM simulation dynamics. The association between mobility and density is visually illustrated by the interactive GUI, which emphasizes patterns that can provide guidance for research into connectedness or connectivity involving percolation models. One application is mobile network modeling. Visualization is an increasingly desired method used by industry and academia. Visualization is employed in percolation model studies as it quickly narrows down regions of interest that can be further explored using conventional analysis.
