Bike3S: A Tool for Bike Sharing Systems Simulation
Alberto Fernández, Holger Billhardt, Sascha Ossowski +1
Vehicle sharing systems are becoming increasingly popular. The effectiveness of such systems depends, among other factors, on different strategic and operational management decisio…
Stream-based perception for cognitive agents in mobile ecosystems
Jeremias Dötterl, Ralf Bruns, Jürgen Dunkel +1
Cognitive agent abstractions can help to engineer intelligent systems across mobile devices. On smartphones, the data obtained from onboard sensors can give valuable insights into…
Evaluating Collaborative and Autonomous Agents in Data-Stream-Supported Coordination of Mobile Crowdsourcing
Ralf Bruns, Jeremias Dötterl, Jürgen Dunkel +1
Mobile crowdsourcing refers to systems where the completion of tasks necessarily requires physical movement of crowdworkers in an on-demand workforce. Evidence suggests that in suc…
Towards a prioritised use of transportation infrastructures: the case of vehicle-specific dynamic access restrictions to city centres
Holger Billhardt, Alberto Fernández, Pasqual Martí +2
One of the main problems that local authorities of large cities have to face is the regulation of urban mobility. They need to provide the means to allow for the efficient movement…
Streamlining Advanced Taxi Assignment Strategies based on Legal Analysis
Holger Billhardt, José-Antonio Santos, Alberto Fernández +3
In recent years many novel applications have appeared that promote the provision of services and activities in a collaborative manner. The key idea behind such systems is to take a…
Smart Recommendations for Renting Bikes in Bike Sharing Systems
Holger Billhardt, Alberto Fernández, Sascha Ossowski
Vehicle-sharing systems -- such as bike-, car-, or motorcycle-sharing systems -- have become increasingly popular in big cities in recent years. On the one hand, they provide a che…
On-Time Delivery in Crowdshipping Systems: An Agent-Based Approach Using Streaming Data
Jeremias Dötterl, Ralf Bruns, Jürgen Dunkel +1
In parcel delivery, the "last mile" from the parcel hub to the customer is costly, especially for time-sensitive delivery tasks that have to be completed within hours after arrival…
Agreement Technologies for Coordination in Smart Cities
Holger Billhardt, Alberto Fernández, Marin Lujak +1
Many challenges in today's society can be tackled by distributed open systems. This is particularly true for domains that are commonly perceived under the umbrella of smart cities,…
Taxi dispatching strategies with compensations
Holger Billhardt, Alberto Fernández, Sascha Ossowski +2
Urban mobility efficiency is of utmost importance in big cities. Taxi vehicles are key elements in daily traffic activity. The advance of ICT and geo-positioning systems has given…
Decentralizing Coordination in Open Vehicle Fleets for Scalable and Dynamic Task Allocation
Marin Lujak, Stefano Giordani, Andrea Omicini +1
One of the major challenges in the coordination of large, open, collaborative, and commercial vehicle fleets is dynamic task allocation. Self-concerned individually rational vehicl…
Legal and ethical implications of applications based on agreement technologies: the case of auction-based road intersections
José-Antonio Santos, Alberto Fernández, Mar Moreno-Rebato +3
Agreement Technologies refer to a novel paradigm for the construction of distributed intelligent systems, where autonomous software agents negotiate to reach agreements on behalf o…
A Market-Inspired Approach for Intersection Management in Urban Road Traffic Networks
Matteo Vasirani, Sascha Ossowski
Traffic congestion in urban road networks is a costly problem that affects all major cities in developed countries. To tackle this problem, it is possible (i) to act on the supply…
