Ant Trail

We investigated agent-based model simulations that mimic an ant transportation system to analyze the cooperative perception and communication in the system. On a trail, ants use cooperative perception through chemotaxis to maintain a constant average velocity irrespective of their density, thereby avoiding traffic jams. Using model simulations and approximate mathematical representations, we analyzed various aspects of the communication system and their effects on cooperative perception in ant traffic. Based on the analysis, insights about the cooperative perception of ants which facilitate decentralized self-organization is presented. We also present values of communication-parameters in ant traffic, where the system conveys traffic conditions to individual ants, which ants use to self-organize and avoid traffic-jams. The mathematical analysis also verifies our findings and provides a better understanding of various model parameters leading to model improvements.

Abstract Over 145 million people visit US Emergency Departments annually. The diverse nature and overwhelming volume of patient visits make the ED one of the most complicated healthcare settings. In particular, handoffs, the transfer of patient care from one physician to another during shift transition are a common source of errors resulting from workflow interruptions and high cognitive workload. This research focuses on developing a hybrid agent-based discrete event simulation model to identify physician shifts that minimize handoffs without affecting other performance metrics. By providing overlapping shift schedules as well as implementing policies that restrict physicians from signing up a new patient during the last hour of the shift, we observed that handoffs and patient time in the emergency department could be reduced by as much as 42% and 17%, respectively.
