Multi-agent based ocean-transport and traffic controlling system: A simulation

The recent impressive technological advancement in information technology (IT) and as well as in Communication have resulted the drastically improved developments in present systems. Most routine tasks have been automated with the support of advanced technologies. Multi-agent systems (MAS) play a major role in automating the tasks in wide range. In this sense current Ocean-Transportation and Traffic Management (OTTM) requires the support of artificial intelligence through MAS, transformation and evolution of ocean-transportation leads to a well-organized automated coordination. Currently the system has a limited capacity and cannot handle the increasing future ocean traffic demands. The proposed Agent based Ocean-Transport and Traffic Management (A-OTTM) concepts are deployed and thoroughly evaluated under realistic conditions with certain circumstances. Through this paper we present an agent based management system which is an emerging Multiagent A-OTTM simulator. It is developed with fairly accurate emulation of A-OTTM which is based on the human-controller-operation (HCO) workload model and human-computer interaction. We present preliminary as well as intermediary results of A-OTTM focusing on the efficiency and accuracy of the simulated controllers.
