Non-exhaust emission (NEE) from brake and tyre wear cause deleterious effects on human health, but the relationship with mobility has not been thoroughly examined. We construct an in silico agent-based traffic simulator for Central Seoul to illustrate the coupled problems of emissions, behaviour, and the estimated exposure to PM10 (particles less than 10 microns in size) for groups of drivers and subway commuters. The results show that significant extra particulates relative to the background exist along roadways where NEEs contributed some 40% of the roadside PM10. In terms of health risk, 88% of resident drivers had an acute health effect in late March but that kind of emergence rarely happened. By contrast, subway commuters’ health risk peaked at a maximum of 30% with frequent oscillations whenever the air pollution episodes occurred. A 90% vehicle restriction scenario reduced PM10 by 18-24%, and reduced the resident driver's risk by a factor of 2, but not effective for subway commuters as the group generally walked through background areas rather than along major roadways. Using an agent-based traffic simulator in a health context can give insights into how exposure and health outcomes can depend on the time of exposure and the mode of transport.

Criminal organizations exploit their presence on territories and local communities to recruit new workforce in order to carry out their criminal activities and business. The ability to attract individuals is crucial for maintaining power and control over the territories in which these groups are settled. This study proposes the formalization, development and analysis of an agent-based model (ABM) that simulates a neighborhood of Palermo (Sicily) with the aim to understand the pathways that lead individuals to recruitment into organized crime groups (OCGs). Using empirical data on social, economic and criminal conditions of the area under analysis, we use a multi-layer network approach to simulate this scenario. As the final goal, we test different policies to counter recruitment into OCGs. These scenarios are based on two different dimensions of prevention and intervention: (i) primary and secondary socialization and (ii) law enforcement targeting strategies.

Agent-based simulation has been extensively used to studyopinion dynamics. However, the vast majority of the existing modelshave been limited to extremely abstract and simplified representationsof the diffusion process, which impairs the realism of the simulationsand disables the understanding of the reasons for the shift of an actor’sopinion. This paper presents a generic framework implemented in theGAMA platform allowing to explicitly represent exchanges of argumentsbetween actors in a context of an opinion dynamic model. More precisely,we propose to formalize the inner attitude towards an opinion of eachagent as an argumentation graph and give them the possibility to sharearguments with other agents. We present an application of the frameworkto study the evolution of the vegetarian diet at a city level.
