Abstract

Coordination for Transportation as a Service (TaaS) can be implemented on a spectrum, ranging from independent agents communicating exclusively through market exchanges to hybrid market/hierarchy approaches fixed hierarchical control systems. An overview of each approach is described and a detailed description of recent work in simulating a hybrid solution is presented. The use of diversity as a potential approach to reduce the impact of catastrophic Normal Accidents is discussed.

Fußnoten
1
In this paper, we focus only on the collective adaptation aspect for agents. Their normal execution can be handled using the technique presented in [8], which is compatible with the approach we are proposing.
