New decision rules for grid based model #104

Open MDI-SCI opened 6 months ago

MDI-SCI commented 6 months ago

Three changes to the ways that agents make decisions that were discussed, in order of importance: 1) Change how agents decide between possible destinations. Right now they follow a probability distribution amongst the possible destinations proportional to their relative attractiveness but as we move towards a grid-based approach there should be more emphasis on the most attractive option, possibly by squaring the relative attractiveness or something like that 2) Revisit how agents decide to take breaks when they are on a multi-hop journey between locations 3) Have a look at how agents that are on a multi-hop journey evaluate whether they will follow through with their plan or whether they want to adjust it and go to a different destination. Right now this only happens when a conflict occurs on the path that the agent was planning to travel
