A general computational recognition primed decision model with multi-agent rescue simulation benchmark | Summary
To execute the model, RoboCup Rescue agent simulation environment, which is one of the best and the most famous complex and multi-agent large-scale environments, was selected. The environment simulates the incidence of fire and earthquakes in urban areas where it is the duty of the police forces, firefighters and ambulance teams to control the .“To show the model’s practicality, we first presented an agent model for fire brigades in the proposed framework of C-RPD, and then implemented it as fire brigades of Polytechnic’s SOS team. Later, an expert trained the system using his and other teams’ experiences one by one. The developed system was validated in two forms. The first was the validation of system’s various versions developed while it with expert’s experiences. The test shows the system convergence while adding experiences. The second was the official validation of the whole SOS team in four official contests.” (p. 55)“It is possible to evaluate rescue simulation teams in two ways: (1) the descriptive approach which analyzes agents’ behavior and (2) the official approach which evaluates the performance by the team’s final score or the agents’ scores” (p. 61) |
