Maybe start from the R interface to NetLogo:

https://cran.r-project.org/package=RNetLogo
https://www.jstatsoft.org/index.php/jss/article/view/v058i02

and a number of blogs, as well as simecol:

Antony,

with focus on prototyping and medium to complex modeling I strongly 
suggest Uri Wilensky's  Netlogo (https://ccl.northwestern.edu/netlogo/) 
which can interfaced from R using RNetLogo 
https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/RNetLogo/index.html that 
provides an excellent wrapper .


cheers Chris

[R-sig-Geo] agent-based model with GIS

2017-02-03 Thread Antony
Dear all,

I am interested in building an agent-based model with geospatial information in 
R. My idea is to create agents that walk down streets, drive cars and generally 
act like ordinary people going to work and so on. I was wondering if this is 
something that anyone on this group has tried to do using R or knows about? 
Specifically, I am interested in using this to understand how crowds form. So 
far, I have been building simulations like this in Netlogo, but am interested 
to move into using R and would very much appreciate people's experience / hints 
& tips.

Many thanks & best wishes,

Antony
