Abstract

We consider the scheduling issues of the London Underground (LU), which spans the entire city and is a vast network of inter-related railway lines. By its very nature, it is a dynamic, complex and unpredictable environment operating or being maintained 24 hours-a-day. This paper is a report on an investigation into how a Multi-agent system (MAS) may be used for resolving scheduling issues of LU. It is a previously-unexplored domain. A prototype system, MASLU is developed through the use of multi-agent system technology, in an innovative and unique manner, with a view of resolving the London Underground's scheduling/logistics issues in real time.
