Abstract :
The paper discusses a Dynamic Markovian Agent Model obtained by adding mobility to a recently introduced new formalism suitable for the analysis of large scale systems, composed by a population of interacting entities, called Markovian Agents (MA). The differential equations describing the evolution of the MA density in time and space are derived, and their numerical solution is briefly sketched. An application to the analysis of the flow of vehicles in a road tunnel is discussed, together with the evaluation of the probability of collision against a fixed obstacle.
