Abstract:
Management and control of railway system is a serious and complex task. A railway system is consisted of network of tracks, stations, safety tools, and trains. In order to cope with increasing train frequencies a method for organizing an appropriate schedule in distributed parties is needed. However this paper concerns the application of distributed multi-agent for presenting an appropriate model consisted of interacted distributed layers for railway transportation system. The proposed layered-based model reduces the workload of the system, which in turn leads to a real-time approach. In this method the system's efficiency increases in comparison with the centralized approach.
