Abstract

With the development of telecom, it becomes possible to provide people with Location Based Service (LBS) according to their spatial positions by using mobile equipments. Before using such services, people should evaluate them and make suitable strategies. Demand Bus System is attracting attention as a new public transportation system that provides convenient transportation for special services while solving traffic jams in urban areas. Previous researches focused on the algorithms to the dial-a-ride problem, and few works did on evaluating the usability of the demand bus system. In this paper we proposed a Q-based multi-agent simulation framework for this purpose and implemented a prototype system.
