Agent-based modelling and mental simulation for resilience engineering in air transport

Following a discussion of recent reviews, we argue that in resilience engineering (RE) there is a need for more structured modelling approaches for analysis of resilience in sociotechnical systems that can support both qualitative and quantitative studies. In this paper we present agent-based modelling and simulation (ABMS) as an approach towards this end. An agent-based model of a sociotechnical system describes the performance and interactions...
