Many of us have experienced this when driving in the city, we had to “turn for hours” to find a parking space. To attenuate this drawback, this paper proposes a collaborative parking search strategy based on the reality of a drivers network in which, depending on his/her role at a given time, each one can help the others to find public on-street parking spots. To highlight a situation of parking spot scarcity, we assume the extreme case where there is no free space and the only solution to park is to swap with a parked car that leaves its location. Under this assumption, agent-based modelling and simulations allow to compare the ReadyPark solution with the classical approach that consists, by luck, in taking the place of a nearby car that is leaving its spot.

Present days vehicle leaving has turned into a noteworthy issue in urban zones with absence of leaving offices and expanded measure of vehicles, because of this drivers who are scanning for parking spot they were wandering around the city in pinnacle hours. This causes traffic, exercise in futility and cash. To keep away from every one of these issues an outcome is created utilizing sensor circuit, RFID and GSM. RFID is utilized to identify the vehicle subtleties, IR sensor is utilized to discover the nearness of the vehicle and all subtleties are gotten to remotely through GSM. This framework encourages driver to discover parking spot accessibility with the assistance of GSM innovation by giving leaving free space data and keeps up the database of the left vehicles. Drivers can check whether the openings are free for stopping ahead of time by sending code as sms to a number which is accessible in the site of that specific shopping centers, emergency clinics, theaters and so forth., at that point drivers get an answer as sms contains parking spot accessibility data. In the event that driver need to book the uninhibitedly accessible space he can book by sending another code which is accessible in the site as sms. Notwithstanding the stopping there are three highlights included, they are Theft the board likewise included for example at the point when vehicles want leaving then every single vehicle number plate is checked with burglary list in the database utilizing RFID, on the off chance that it is in robbery list, at that point a message is sent to the administration. At the point when fire mishap happens all of a sudden because of any causes like short out and so on, naturally water will be sprinkled with the goal that harm of the vehicles can be maintained a strategic distance from. As per the power of light the lights will be ON or OFF inside the stopping openings. This spares control utilization. This model created for the stopping framework with less human collaboration, expands adaptability.

Research background: Managerial scientists use a lot of modelling techniques for business processes. In this paper we are focused on agent-based modelling and simulations, which emerged in the last two decades as a new approach. Autonomous and interacting intelligent agents are able to model and simulate complex systems in the business sphere. With the use of agent-based modelling and simulations we are able to understand how macro level outcomes are affected by micro level processes and vice versa.Purpose of the article: The purpose of the paper is to introduce recent development in the area of agent-based modelling and simulations focused on the business domain. Managers often have to make difficult decisions under the uncertainty and high risks. Agent-based modelling can provide powerful tools for lowering those risks through a possibility of running experiments, which is normally impossible in economics. In the second part we want to support the usefulness of agent-based simulations with our own simulations.Methods: The method used in this article is an agent-based simulation in a multi-agent system. We use a framework called MAREA. It is a simulation environment with integrated ERP system based on REA ontology. Our simulation model is based on a retail company that sells electronics. For simplicity, in our setup we trade with computer cables.Findings & Value added: In our simulations we experimented with the quality of sales service provided by company’s sales representatives. We investigated the impact of quality of sales service on company KPIs under the changing environment circumstances represented by disturbance agent. The quality of sales service is a part of quality of service and thus it affects the perception of brand and loyalty of customers towards the company. In our simulation setup we work with two types of customers, long-term customers and new ones. The result is that quality of sales service has mostly positive effects on company KPIs.

AbstractOstia, the ancient port of Rome, had a rich religious landscape. How processional rituals further contributed to this landscape, however, has seen little consideration. This is largely due to a lack of evidence that attests to the routes taken by processional rituals. The present study aims to address existing problems in studying processions by questioning what factors motivated processional movement routes. A novel computational approach that integrates GIS, urban network analysis, and agent-based modelling is introduced. This multi-layered approach is used to question how spectators served as attractors in the creation of a processional landscape using Ostia’s Campo della Magna Mater as a case study. The analysis of these results is subsequently used to gain new insight into how a greater processional landscape was created surrounding the sanctuary of the Magna Mater.
