''Agents'' are the heart of the simulator [[GlassBox]]. An agent is a packet of informations travelling accross a road.
= Pipe-based agent =
Represent all underground agent such as [[water]] and [[power]]. They have to be generated by a [[power plant]] or a [[pump]].
Those agents are travelling randomly via pipe but they will prefer empty pipes. Each agent contain a certain amount of ressource and are used by building to refill their stock.
*Example : A power-agent got 10MW and cross a house that have 2MW in stock and can store 6MW max. After its passage the power-agent remain 6MW.
Every building require power and water. If a building is not reachable by agents that will exhaust its ressources and it will stop working.
The [[sewage]] agent is a bit different and is generated by buildings when it use water. Sewage-agent have to be treated or rejected in nature using [[Sewage Outflow Pipe]] or [[Sewage Treatment Plant]].
= Road-based agent =
Represent all road users such as [[car|cars]], [[truck|trucks]], [[ambulance|ambulances]], [[pedestrian|pedestrians]] or even [[streetcars]].
Pedestrians
Those agent will try to take the shortest path to their objective when enterring a queue. Each section of road (you can see them by using the road upgrading tool) is a queue.
