Further Reading

For further information about traffic simulation we refer the interested reader to (Chung and Dumont 2009), (Tapani 2008), (Toledo 2007) and (Koorey 2002). Terzi and Cavalieri (2004) provide a review of supply chain simulation, while Williams and Raha (2002) present a review of freight modeling and simulation. For general information about transport modeling, we suggest to read (Ortúzar and Willumsen 2001). For further information on how agent technologies can be used in the traffic and transport area, see (Davidsson et al. 2005).
