Abstract: | Research in the branch of agent-based modelling has been experiencing steep growth of interest in recent years because it allows us to model complicated and
heterogeneous systems. In this project, we are focused on urban crime because it
is one of the most discussed topics, nowadays. We can emulate the
behaviour of policemen and criminals and examine the circumstances of crimes and
create possible strategies for crime prevention and persecution.
First, we will explain the basic features of agent-based modelling, and
especially modelling of crime. We propose our own model of urban crime,
including all behavioural aspects, single interactions and dependencies among
system components. After this, we get familiar with A-lite and AgentPolis
simulation platforms and we use them for implementation of our previously
proposed model. Finally, we perform a few experiments. We will show that our
model is correct and then several simulation scenarios are created and simulated
and the results of our simulations are discussed.The results show that
agent-based crime modelling is very interesting and perspective issue which is
definitely worth of future research.
