Comparing Context-Aware Routing and Local Intersection Management

In multi-agent routing, there is a set of mobile agents each with a start location and destination location on a shared infrastructure. An agent wants to reach its destination as quickly as possible, but conflicts with other agents must be avoided. We have previously developed a single-agent route planning algorithm that can find a shortest-time...

Context-Aware Route Planning

In context-aware route planning, there is a set of transportation agents each with a start and destination location on a shared infrastructure. Each agent wants to find a shortest-time route plan without colliding with any of the other agents, or ending up in a deadlock situation. We present a single-agent route planning algorithm that is both...

Agent-based scheduling for aircraft deicing

The planning and scheduling of the deicing and anti-icing activities is an important and challenging part of airport departure planning. Deicing planning has to be done in a highly dynamic environment involving several autonomous and self-interested parties. Traditional centralized scheduling approaches do not acknowledge the autonomy of parties...
