Abstract
Conversion from a widely-used automotive fuel to an alternative fuel can be seen as the coevolution of two systems: a societal system of vehicle owners and a supply infrastructure that will provide the alternative fuel. We present a cultural algorithms model that allows us to assess the impact that initial alternative fuel station distribution and cultural motivation have on alternative fuel adoption, and the role that mass media may play in that adoption.
