7. Automatic Road Repair

This 7th step illustrates how how to select in a list an element that optimize a given function.

Formulation

Model Definition

parameters

We add a new parameter: the repair_time.

In the global section, definition of the repair_time variable:

   int repair_time <- 2 ;

In the experiment section, definition of the parameter:

   parameter "Number of steps between two road repairs" var: repair_time category: "Road" ;

road repairing

We have to add a reflex method in the global section that is triggered every repair_time hours / step. This method selects, thanks to the with_max_of operation the road agent with the highest destruction_coeff value, then sets this value at 1.

global {
   ...
   reflex repair_road when: every(repair_time #hour / step) {
	road the_road_to_repair <- road with_max_of (each.destruction_coeff) ;
	ask the_road_to_repair {
		destruction_coeff <- 1.0 ;
	}
   }
}
