I used the "disease dynamics" tutorial to help me construct this ABM, in which the individual agents are students and the states in which they can find themselves (with regard to learning a new skill/concept) include "confusion," "familiarity," and "mastery." I modeled the transitions from one state to the next under the assumption that a student cannot transition from "mastery" of a particular concept back to "confusion." This model also operates under the assumption that the more students who become familiar with a skill, the more likely it is that other students will, too (presumably, students help each other). 

The skill I imagined being taught to these students is something like Argumentative Writing, as most students can become "familiar" with this skill (or perform "satisfactorily" in it), while only some students are likely to "master" this skill in a given school year. 

I labeled the transitions "exposure" and "practice" to signify that exposing students to a new skill/concept tends to lead to their becoming familiar with it, while students taking on the task of practicing is the only way for them to transition to mastery. 

I complicated this model by adding a teacher to the mix. I also changed the number of states that students can exhibit in order to make it such that there is a 50/50 chance that once a student has learned a skill, he/she will enter a state of confusion as opposed to familiarity with the new skill/concept. The states that teachers can enter include "helpful" and "overwhelmed." The "overwhelmed" state depends on the number of students who are in a state of confusion (asking too many questions). As students transition to the states of familiarity or mastery, the teacher becomes less overwhelmed and moves back into the state of simply being "helpful."

This model is a classic instance of an Erlang Queuing Process.

We have the entities:
- A population of cars which start off in a "crusing" state;
- At each cycle, according to a Poisson distribution defined by "Arrival Rate" (which can be a constant, a function of time, or a Converter to simulate peak hours), some cars transition to a "looking" for an empty space state.
- If a empty space is available (Parking Capacity  > Count(FindState([cars population],[parked]))) then the State transitions to "Parked."
-The Cars stay "parked" according to a Normal distribution with Mean = Duration and SD = Duration / 4
- If the Car is in the state "Looking" for a period longer than "Willingness to Wait" then the state timeouts and transitions to impatient and immediately transitions to "Crusing" again.

The model is set to run for 24 hours and all times are given in hours (or fraction thereof)

WIP:
- Calculate the average waiting time;
- Calculate the servicing level, i.e., 1- (# of cars impatient)/(#cars looking)

A big THANK YOU to Scott Fortmann-Roe for helping setup the model's framework.

This model simulates a waterborne illness spread from a central reservoir. It illustrates the combination of System Dynamics (modeling pathogen levels in the reservoir) and Agent Based Modeling.

If an accident occurs at a place, the master car informs the OBUs of neighbouring cars in group about the accident and they change direction . Some of the cars depending upon their position become master car in other groups and the process of warning is propagated to car population in radius of the accident.
