I am trying to develop an agent model to simulate the evacuation scenarios in AnyLogic. I want to change some parameters to custom the wayfinding strategies of the pedestrian. But I couldn't find any description of the logic of the pedestrians movement and couldn't find a way to change the parameters. Does anyone know what can I do to modify the pedestrians movement model?
There is very little you can do, it is a black-box model working in the background. The help has some light details of how it works.
You can only adjust the environment to influence path-finding for pedestrians (close areas...).
Lastly, the "Ped settings" object has some light ways to adjust behavior:
If you need more than that, either create your own pedestrian agent type with 100% custom pathfinding capabilities (not trivial) or revert to tailored pedestrian-modelling tools

Im doing a road traffic simulation and have noticed that the vehicles are far too passive. I know for a fact that in the area this simulation is supposed to be the people at the wheel are far more "aggressive" and give less headway and dont yield as much.
I have scoured every piece of official and non official documentation but cannot find an answer.
You can't.
The library is a black box that only "opens" the settings that you can see in the blocks. The only additional settings you can play with (beyond the block properties) is the "Road Network descriptor":
But there is no aggressiveness setting. If this is the key purpose of your model, you either create your own ABM logic from scratch or you'd need to check other tools that are focused on cars (but typically, these are then far more restrictive on other dimensions that AnyLogic is flexible on, it all depends on your model purpose)
I need to simulate a fully functional AS/RS in warehousing. Moreover, I am a complete beginner in this field. Can some please let me know if I could get readymade simulation file? Or if not, please let me know how to learn to do it.
I have checked out the Anylogic website and it's tutorials (They are too lengthy).
fortunately for you, i have developed an AS/RS example that is a ready-made downloadable model for you, available at https://cloud.anylogic.com/model/1f5c7d1f-8782-40ac-957d-d3ba97bf6bf0?mode=SETTINGS
In general, when you want a model example, the first thing you should do is check the anylogic cloud, and if you are lucky the model is downloadable. Unfortunately, most people don't share
It really depends on what type of ASRS you are modeling (shuttle versus unit load) and level of detail you need. Do you need specific slotting and inventory tracking, or simplier black box delays with the assumption inventory is always available? The level of detail you need depends on questions you are asking, and should be addressed prior to starting development. If results from the model are critical and urgent, and you need anything more than simple black box delays, you should consider outsourcing to an experienced professional until you can get your AnyLogic skills up to speed.
I am currently trying to recreate my university dorm elevator system in AnyLogic, however I am unsure how to even start with pedestrians and elevators, as the lifts in the program are only used by transporter fleets.
Very hard to do elevators, you will have to code that yourself. It is possible but requires fairly advanced skills in OOP and coding. Here is an example using elevators to get you started.
I'm currently doing simulation on autonomous vehicles in Anylogic. But the problem for me now is that I don't know in the road traffic library of Anylogic, if it's possible for the cars to change lane and drive on the opposite direction to avoid obstacles on the current lane(considering a road with one lane for each direction). Or is there any simulation software can simulate that scenario?
enter image description here
It's not possible to do that particular maneuver with the road traffic library. You will have to use the process modeling library (PML) to avoid obstacles and change lanes to the opposite direction. This means that you will have to construct the car intelligence in order to avoid collisions.
You can nevertheless use traffic library everywhere and mix it with PML in those particular segments, but that is quite complicated.
In general for autonomous vehicles it's better to use the PML... the road traffic library is quite limited.
I am new to Netlogo and I would like to create an extension of the ant colony optimization algorithm by "complexifying" the ants. This means the agents (the ants) are not point-like or particle-like, but have to take into account various factors in their environment before acting a certain way. I would like to be able to create ants with sub-modules, where each sub-module can interact with other sub-modules as well as with a part of the environment. Is this possible in Netlogo? Any resources on this would be nice.
Yes, this is exactly what NetLogo is for.
In NetLogo terminology, your ants would be turtles. Turtles have attributes (what I think you mean by submodules) such as speed, carrying capacity etc. They interact with each other and the environment (patches in NetLogo), so can pick up food, take it home, decide whether to fight or run away or whatever. If you can describe the factors that determine the behaviour, then you can program that behaviour.
NetLogo has a brief but useful tutorial at its main site, an extensive library of models built in, and links to resources.
