Model IV:

Description: This model implements a 2 dimensional space for the parking lot. In this model drivers face a choice at the head of each row. They can choose to continue up the aisle to the next row, or they can choose to move down the current row. If a car reaches the end of the row it will automatically move to the head of the next row, or return to the entrance of the parking lot if they were at the nearest parking space.

Space: 2 dimensional

Time:  Synchronous/Asynchronous: same as Models I and II

Agents: Homogenous.

Decision Structure:  See Figure 1.

Parameters tested for robustness:

Criteria for judging outcomes:

• Average distance to Mall
• Average time to park
• Trip Cost
