Abstract
CORREA, Juan Carlos. The behavioral interaction of road users in traffic: An example of the potential of intelligent agent-based simulations in psychology. rev.latinoam.psicol. [online]. 2016, vol.48, n.3, pp.191-200. ISSN 0120-0534. https://doi.org/10.1016Zj.rlp.2016.06.002.
This paper illustrates what psychologists can do and learn from the use of intelligent agent-based simulations, in combination with experimental designs, in order to model the behavioral interaction of motorists and motorcyclists in urban traffic, when motorcyclists ride in between the lanes of slow-moving or stopped vehicles. The results of the computer model were validated through a measure that estimates its agreement with the results of real-life traffic videos analyses. Lastly, this paper discusses the implications of adopting intelligent agent-based simulations in experimental psychology.
