Office of Research, Development, and Technology Through the distribution of this workshop summary report, it is our hope that the information and thoughts shared at the meeting will help shape the scope of FHWA's further investment in modeling and simulation research through open solicitation, interagency agreements, or other appropriate mechanisms. The workshop also connected FHWA technical experts with those from academia, national laboratories, and other sources conducting relevant ABMS research. The workshop successfully brought together experts from various fields outside of transportation to share their knowledge and experience in applying ABMS to study topics such as consumer behavior in the market place, the impact of certain policies on Hawaii's fisheries, and predicting the spread of epidemics. The Federal Highway Administration's (FHWA) Office of Operations R&D and the Exploratory Advanced Research Program Team hosted a workshop in May 2010 as part of an ongoing effort to examine the area of Agent-Based Modeling and Simulation (ABMS) and its application in transportation research.
