This step Illustrates how load and agentry GIS data.
We have to define two species of agents: the building agents and the road ones. These agents will not have a particular behavior, they will just be displayed. We define an aspect for these species. In this model, we want to represent the geometry of the agent, we then use the keyword draw that allow to draw a given geometry. In order to draw the geometry of the agent we use the attribute shape (which is a built-in attribute of all agents).
species building {
aspect geom {
draw shape color: #gray;
}
}
species road {
aspect geom {
draw shape color: #black;
}
}
GAMA allows to automatically read GIS data that are formatted as shapefiles. In order to let the user chooses his/her shapefiles, we define two parameters. One allowing the user to choose the road shapefile, one allowing him/her to choose the building shapefile.
Definition of the two global variables of type file concerning the GIS files:
global {
file shape_file_buildings <- file("../includes/building.shp");
file shape_file_roads <- file("../includes/road.shp");
}
In GAMA, the agentification of GIS data is very straightforward: it only requires to use the create command with the from facet to pass the shapefile. Each object of the shapefile will be directly used to instantiate an agent of the specified species.
We modify the init section of the global block in order to create road and building agents from the shape files. Then, we define the initial location of people as a point inside one of the building.
global {
...
init {
create road from: roads_shapefile;
create building from: buildings_shapefile;
create people number:nb_people {
speed <- 5.0 #km/#h;
building bd <- one_of(building);
location <- any_location_in(bd);
}
ask nb_infected_init among people {
is_infected <- true;
}
}
}
We defined here a local variable called bd of type building that is a one of the building (randomly chosen). Note that the name of a species can be used to obtain all the agents of this species (here building returns the list of all the buildings). The any_location_in returns a random point inside a geometry or an agent geometry.
Building a GIS environment in GAMA requires nothing special, just to define the bounds of the environment, i.e. the geometry of the world agent. It is possible to use a shapefile to automatically define it by computing its envelope. In this model, we use the road shapefile to define it.
global {
...
geometry shape <- envelope(shape_file_roads);
...
}
We add to the map display the road and building agents.
In the experiment block:
output {
display map {
species road aspect:geom;
species building aspect:geom;
species people aspect:circle;
}
...
}
