Integration of human behavioral aspects in a dynamic model for a manufacturing system
Elkosantini, Sabeur . 2009
The computational simulation of human intelligent behaviour has been one of the main research topics in the artificial intelligence (AI) domain. Therefore, a great number of behavioural models were proposed considering emotional, cognitive and psychological factors to simulate the human behaviour in different domains such as military or manufacturing systems. In addition to psychological factors, the social state of a group of workers plays a critical role in rational decision-making, perception, human interaction, and human intelligence. Thus, it is judicious to analyse the workers’ behaviour at work and to integrate their needs and requirements in manufacturing systems models in order to improve the simulation accuracy. In this context, this paper suggests a graphical and a mathematical representation model of workers’ behaviours as well as the ties that can exist among them. The model is also extended to consider inter-worker social relations that can influence the individual performance.
In recent years, the simulation of personal car driver behavior has attracted increasing attention in recent research works. Such works are based on models and systems derived from social and…
Urban traffic is subject to disturbances that cause long queues and extended waiting times at signalized intersections.
To monitor and control traffic at signalized intersections, several traffic signal control systems (TSCSs) were developed based on optimization and artificial intelligence techniques.
