Artificial Societies for Integrated and Sustainable Development of Metropolitan Systems

Published: 01 July 2004 Publication History

Abstract

China has made significant efforts over the past two decades to solve its transportation problems, but traffic congestion, pollution, accidents, and other related problems are only getting worse. So, a team of over 70 researchers from 10 universities and research institutes in China and the US is developing a framework of platforms based on concepts and methods in artificial societies and complex systems. The goal is to study integrated and sustainable development of metropolitan transportation, logistics, and ecosystems.
