The objective of the project is to develop new efficient simulation methods using a hybrid simulation/analytic queueing model for large and complex networks, and efficiently run the simulation portion of the model using a new dynamic computing budget allocation technique. This project will extend the use of the newly developed simulation methods to the national air traffic network including runway slot auctioning and agent-based modeling (ABM) of air traffic management. Airlines and airports play the roles of agents engaged in a dynamic competition to maximize their individual profits with the use of information. Alternative agent-based rules will be experimented to determine optimal decision policies. Good auction rules to better regulate the use of airport runways will be investigated and designed using the fast simulation engine and ABM modeling approach. Using auctions to allocate runway slots has the potential to economically induce airline carriers to more efficiently use the capacity of the entire system - thus, decreasing congestion and increasing the safety level. While the proposed simulation tool is tailored for the air transportation network in the U.S., the newly developed methods will be applicable to other complex, dynamic networks, such as communication networks, manufacturing systems, and logistics networks.

该项目的目标是为大型复杂网络开发新的高效仿真方法，使用混合仿真/解析排队模型，并使用新的动态计算预算分配技术高效运行模型的仿真部分。该项目将把新开发的模拟方法的使用扩展到国家空中交通网络，包括跑道时段拍卖和基于代理的空中交通管理建模(ABM)。航空公司和机场扮演着代理人的角色，通过利用信息进行动态竞争，以实现各自利润的最大化。将试验基于代理的替代规则以确定最优决策策略。将使用快速模拟引擎和ABM建模方法来调查和设计良好的拍卖规则，以更好地规范机场跑道的使用。使用拍卖来分配跑道空位有可能在经济上促使航空公司更有效地利用整个系统的容量--从而减少拥堵并提高安全水平。虽然拟议的仿真工具是为美国的航空运输网络量身定做的，但新开发的方法将适用于其他复杂的、动态的网络，如通信网络、制造系统和物流网络。
