This paper presents an integrated method for online calibration of realtime traffic network simulation models. The method integrates a time-dependent demand adjustment module and a link-based traffic flow propagation model calibration module. These modules use available realtime traffic observations to minimize inconsistency between the model estimation results and real-world observations. The modules are integrated into a real-time traffic network management system that was developed for the US-75 corridor in Dallas, Texas. Results illustrate that the online calibration method is effective in enhancing the model's consistency in the different operational conditions.

Mulit-agent system[MAS] research on learning has been in the area of negotiation, and learning strategies of other agents.This paper presents an agent learning approach in multi-agent system based on Bayesian learning, it researches to develop agents that learn free-text queries and keyword searches in MAS. The MAS learns to identify an appropriate agent to answer free-text and natural language queries as well as keyword searches submitted by users. The paper describes how Bayesian learning is implemented in MAS, and analyzes the effectiveness of MAS learning based on the Bayesian learning approach by analyzing the accuracy and degree of learning.
