• Abstract: In transportation system demand modeling and simulation, agent-based models and microsimulations are current state-of-the-art approaches. However, existing agent-based models still have some limitations on behavioral realism and resource demand that limit their applicability. In this study, leveraging the emerging technology of large language models (LLMs) and LLM-based agents, we propose a general LLM-agent-based modeling framework for transportation systems. We argue that LLM agents not only possess the essential capabilities to function as agents but also offer promising solutions to overcome some limitations of existing agent-based models. Our conceptual framework design closely replicates the decision-making and interaction processes and traits of human travelers within transportation networks, and we demonstrate that the proposed systems can meet critical behavioral criteria for decision-making and learning behaviors using related studies and a demonstrative example of LLM agents' learning and adjustment in the bottleneck setting. Although further refinement of the LLM-agent-based modeling framework is necessary, we believe that this approach has the potential to improve transportation system modeling and simulation.

We present LLM archetypes, a technique that balances behavioral complexity with computational efficiency, allowing for nuanced agent behavior in large-scale simulations.

  A growing tendency to decompose LLMs into numerous functional modules allows for inference with part of modules and dynamic assembly of modules to tackle complex tasks. We coin the term brick to represent each functional module, designating the modularized structure as customizable foundation models. We present four brick-oriented operations: retrieval and routing, merging, updating, and growing. We find that the FFN layers follow modular patterns with functional specialization of neurons and functional neuron partitions.

  LLMs have emerged as promising tools for solving challenging problems without the need for task-specific finetuned models. Currently, the design and implementation of such agents is ad hoc, as the wide variety of tasks that LLM-based agents may be applied to naturally means there can be no one-size-fits-all approach to agent design. We propose a minimalistic generation framework that simplifies the process of building agents.
