Simulation of the dynamics of urban systems using an agent-based approach
The article presents the foreign experience in constructing agent-based and multi-agent models of the dynamics of the urban environment and urban systems in accordance with the idea of creating a “smart city” ecosystem. Architecture of models of social, natural and technical systems of the city, including those created as the basic components of decision support systems, is analysed. Some examples of integrated urban simulation and software for agent-based simulation of cities and urban systems are studied. The prospect of using agent-based simulation in the practice of urban planning, municipal management and ensuring the reliability of critical city infrastructure are substantiated.
