BusiAgent: AI in Bus & Business Systems

Updated 9 July 2026
  • BusiAgent is a polysemous term denoting multiple AI frameworks applied to structured decision-making in both transit and enterprise domains.
  • In transit systems, it optimizes bus operations via advanced reinforcement learning techniques, dynamic scheduling, and robust multi-agent coordination.
  • In enterprise contexts, BusiAgent systems integrate neuro-symbolic reasoning, LLM-driven orchestration, and privacy-preserving negotiation to enhance business decision support.

Searching arXiv for papers mentioning “BusiAgent” and closely related variants to ground the article. BusiAgent is a name used in recent arXiv literature for several agentic AI systems rather than a single canonical architecture. The label appears in at least two major lineages. In public-transport research, it denotes bus-control frameworks for holding, dispatch robustness, and electric-bus scheduling under stochastic operations. In enterprise AI, it denotes business-oriented agent systems for strategic decision support, neuro-symbolic process orchestration, CRM task execution, and privacy-preserving negotiation. Across these usages, the common theme is the construction of agents that operate over structured state, invoke specialized tools or optimization routines, and coordinate decisions under explicit operational constraints (Zhang, 28 Aug 2025, Wang et al., 21 Aug 2025, Manzolli et al., 24 Jun 2026).

1. Nomenclature and research scope

A recurring misconception is that BusiAgent names one software stack. In the literature surveyed here, the term is polysemous. It is used for reinforcement-learning systems in bus operations, for LLM-based business decision frameworks, and for broader “business agent” architectures in CRM and negotiation settings. This suggests a research motif rather than a standardized platform.

Usage of the name Technical core Representative papers
Bus fleet control Asynchronous MARL, distributional MARL, single-agent SAC (Wang et al., 2021, Wang et al., 2021, Zhang, 28 Aug 2025)
Enterprise decision support Extended CTMDP, generalized entropy, Stackelberg hierarchy, QA loops (Wang et al., 21 Aug 2025)
Neuro-symbolic business orchestration LLM agents, enterprise KG, predicate logic, Prolog execution (Pang et al., 22 Jan 2026)
CRM and negotiation agents Agentic RL with shared memories; device-native cryptographic bargaining (Lai et al., 29 Oct 2025, Roy, 1 Jan 2026)
Electric-bus aggregation MILP scheduler plus supervisory trigger, pricing, and evaluator agents (Manzolli et al., 24 Jun 2026)

The term therefore spans both transportation and enterprise-computing contexts. In the transportation lineage, “bus” refers literally to transit vehicles. In the enterprise lineage, “busi” abbreviates business. The shared naming can obscure substantial methodological differences: some BusiAgent systems are continuous-control RL policies, some are hierarchical LLM collectives, and some are neuro-symbolic executors with hard logical constraints.

2. Transit-control lineage: asynchronous and robust bus-holding agents

The earliest lineage in the supplied corpus treats route-level bus control as an asynchronous decision problem. In "Reducing Bus Bunching with Asynchronous Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning" (Wang et al., 2021), each vehicle bib_i is an agent that acts only when it arrives at a stop. The local state is

si,t=(onboard_paxi,t,  hi(t),  hi+1(t)),s_{i,t} = \bigl(\text{onboard\_pax}_{i,t},\; h_i(t),\; h_{i+1}(t)\bigr),

the action is a strength parameter ai,t[0,1]a_{i,t}\in[0,1], and holding time is

Δdi,t=ai,tΔT.\Delta d_{i,t} = a_{i,t}\,\Delta T.

The reward trades off route-wide headway regularity and intervention cost,

ri,t=(1w)CV2    wai,t,r_{i,t} = -\,(1-w)\,\mathrm{CV}^2 \;-\; w\,a_{i,t},

with CV2\mathrm{CV}^2 the squared coefficient of variation of headways. The architectural novelty is the critic decomposition

Gi,t=Qi,tϕ(si,t,ai,t)+Ui,tψ,G_{i,t} = Q^\phi_{i,t}\bigl(s_{i,t},a_{i,t}\bigr)+U^\psi_{i,t},

where Ui,tψU^\psi_{i,t} is an event critic built over a graph-attention network on neighboring asynchronous events. Empirically, the CAAC variant achieved the largest reduction in waiting time on route R1, with 166-166 s AWT, $42$ s AHT, si,t=(onboard_paxi,t,  hi(t),  hi+1(t)),s_{i,t} = \bigl(\text{onboard\_pax}_{i,t},\; h_i(t),\; h_{i+1}(t)\bigr),0 AOD, and si,t=(onboard_paxi,t,  hi(t),  hi+1(t)),s_{i,t} = \bigl(\text{onboard\_pax}_{i,t},\; h_i(t),\; h_{i+1}(t)\bigr),1 s ATT, and it retained the best si,t=(onboard_paxi,t,  hi(t),  hi+1(t)),s_{i,t} = \bigl(\text{onboard\_pax}_{i,t},\; h_i(t),\; h_{i+1}(t)\bigr),2AWT and si,t=(onboard_paxi,t,  hi(t),  hi+1(t)),s_{i,t} = \bigl(\text{onboard\_pax}_{i,t},\; h_i(t),\; h_{i+1}(t)\bigr),3AOD on unseen routes R2–R4 (Wang et al., 2021).

A second development emphasizes robustness under perturbations. "Robust Dynamic Bus Control: A Distributional Multi-agent Reinforcement Learning Approach" (Wang et al., 2021) introduces IQNC-M, which replaces a conventional critic with an Implicit Quantile Network and adds a meta-learning module over an event graph si,t=(onboard_paxi,t,  hi(t),  hi+1(t)),s_{i,t} = \bigl(\text{onboard\_pax}_{i,t},\; h_i(t),\; h_{i+1}(t)\bigr),4. The local state adds waiting passengers to the standard headway variables; actions remain continuous in si,t=(onboard_paxi,t,  hi(t),  hi+1(t)),s_{i,t} = \bigl(\text{onboard\_pax}_{i,t},\; h_i(t),\; h_{i+1}(t)\bigr),5 with si,t=(onboard_paxi,t,  hi(t),  hi+1(t)),s_{i,t} = \bigl(\text{onboard\_pax}_{i,t},\; h_i(t),\; h_{i+1}(t)\bigr),6. The reward again penalizes headway variance and control effort, with si,t=(onboard_paxi,t,  hi(t),  hi+1(t)),s_{i,t} = \bigl(\text{onboard\_pax}_{i,t},\; h_i(t),\; h_{i+1}(t)\bigr),7 in the experiments. The meta-learner produces distortion weights si,t=(onboard_paxi,t,  hi(t),  hi+1(t)),s_{i,t} = \bigl(\text{onboard\_pax}_{i,t},\; h_i(t),\; h_{i+1}(t)\bigr),8 over quantiles so that the critic better separates uncertainty due to the ego action from uncertainty induced by asynchronous interventions by other buses. In the reported evaluations on four trunk routes with real smart-card demand and AVL travel-time data, the simulator matched boarding times with si,t=(onboard_paxi,t,  hi(t),  hi+1(t)),s_{i,t} = \bigl(\text{onboard\_pax}_{i,t},\; h_i(t),\; h_{i+1}(t)\bigr),9 and journey times with ai,t[0,1]a_{i,t}\in[0,1]0; under perturbations, IQNC-M achieved the largest reduction in waiting time, for example ai,t[0,1]a_{i,t}\in[0,1]1 s versus ai,t[0,1]a_{i,t}\in[0,1]2 s for CAAC on R1 at ai,t[0,1]a_{i,t}\in[0,1]3, the greatest drop in occupancy dispersion ai,t[0,1]a_{i,t}\in[0,1]4 versus ai,t[0,1]a_{i,t}\in[0,1]5, and a moderate holding cost of ai,t[0,1]a_{i,t}\in[0,1]6 s (Wang et al., 2021).

Taken together, these papers establish the bus-control meaning of BusiAgent as a family of event-driven control agents for bus bunching mitigation. A plausible implication is that the core modeling problem is not merely multi-vehicle interaction, but asynchronous credit assignment under stochastic traffic and demand.

3. Single-agent reformulation in realistic bus operations

"Single Agent Robust Deep Reinforcement Learning for Bus Fleet Control" (Zhang, 28 Aug 2025) reformulates the bus-holding problem from MARL to single-agent SAC, and this framework is explicitly described as BusiAgent or Embedding-SAC. The central claim is that a single agent can absorb inter-agent dependencies if the state is augmented with categorical identifiers. Each stop-level decision for bus ai,t[0,1]a_{i,t}\in[0,1]7 after boarding and alighting at stop ai,t[0,1]a_{i,t}\in[0,1]8 uses a state ai,t[0,1]a_{i,t}\in[0,1]9 comprising four categorical identifiers—Δdi,t=ai,tΔT.\Delta d_{i,t} = a_{i,t}\,\Delta T.0, Δdi,t=ai,tΔT.\Delta d_{i,t} = a_{i,t}\,\Delta T.1, Δdi,t=ai,tΔT.\Delta d_{i,t} = a_{i,t}\,\Delta T.2, and Δdi,t=ai,tΔT.\Delta d_{i,t} = a_{i,t}\,\Delta T.3—plus three numerical features: forward headway Δdi,t=ai,tΔT.\Delta d_{i,t} = a_{i,t}\,\Delta T.4, backward headway Δdi,t=ai,tΔT.\Delta d_{i,t} = a_{i,t}\,\Delta T.5, and current segment speed Δdi,t=ai,tΔT.\Delta d_{i,t} = a_{i,t}\,\Delta T.6. Instead of one-hot coding, each categorical variable is embedded through a learnable matrix Δdi,t=ai,tΔT.\Delta d_{i,t} = a_{i,t}\,\Delta T.7 with

Δdi,t=ai,tΔT.\Delta d_{i,t} = a_{i,t}\,\Delta T.8

The final state concatenates all embeddings and the three numerical features: Δdi,t=ai,tΔT.\Delta d_{i,t} = a_{i,t}\,\Delta T.9

The action space is a single continuous scalar

ri,t=(1w)CV2    wai,t,r_{i,t} = -\,(1-w)\,\mathrm{CV}^2 \;-\; w\,a_{i,t},0

representing additional holding time beyond natural dwell, with ri,t=(1w)CV2    wai,t,r_{i,t} = -\,(1-w)\,\mathrm{CV}^2 \;-\; w\,a_{i,t},1 s in the implementation. The policy and critics share four embedding layers and then use a 4-layer MLP with hidden sizes ri,t=(1w)CV2    wai,t,r_{i,t} = -\,(1-w)\,\mathrm{CV}^2 \;-\; w\,a_{i,t},2 and ReLU activations. The policy head outputs Gaussian parameters ri,t=(1w)CV2    wai,t,r_{i,t} = -\,(1-w)\,\mathrm{CV}^2 \;-\; w\,a_{i,t},3 and ri,t=(1w)CV2    wai,t,r_{i,t} = -\,(1-w)\,\mathrm{CV}^2 \;-\; w\,a_{i,t},4, followed by a ri,t=(1w)CV2    wai,t,r_{i,t} = -\,(1-w)\,\mathrm{CV}^2 \;-\; w\,a_{i,t},5-squash to enforce ri,t=(1w)CV2    wai,t,r_{i,t} = -\,(1-w)\,\mathrm{CV}^2 \;-\; w\,a_{i,t},6; each twin-Q head outputs a scalar ri,t=(1w)CV2    wai,t,r_{i,t} = -\,(1-w)\,\mathrm{CV}^2 \;-\; w\,a_{i,t},7. Target critics are updated by Polyak averaging with coefficient ri,t=(1w)CV2    wai,t,r_{i,t} = -\,(1-w)\,\mathrm{CV}^2 \;-\; w\,a_{i,t},8, using Adam with learning rate ri,t=(1w)CV2    wai,t,r_{i,t} = -\,(1-w)\,\mathrm{CV}^2 \;-\; w\,a_{i,t},9 and batch size CV2\mathrm{CV}^20 (Zhang, 28 Aug 2025).

The reward is a schedule-aware ridge-shaped function centered on the nominal headway of CV2\mathrm{CV}^21 s: CV2\mathrm{CV}^22

CV2\mathrm{CV}^23

The first terms reward proximity to the CV2\mathrm{CV}^24 s schedule, the CV2\mathrm{CV}^25 term incentivizes symmetry, and the indicator term penalizes extreme deviations exceeding CV2\mathrm{CV}^26 s. The simulation environment is a bidirectional corridor with CV2\mathrm{CV}^27 stops, departures every CV2\mathrm{CV}^28 s, thirteen hourly OD matrices, Poisson arrivals with CV2\mathrm{CV}^29, and stochastic segment speed sampled from Gi,t=Qi,tϕ(si,t,ai,t)+Ui,tψ,G_{i,t} = Q^\phi_{i,t}\bigl(s_{i,t},a_{i,t}\bigr)+U^\psi_{i,t},0 with Gi,t=Qi,tϕ(si,t,ai,t)+Ui,tψ,G_{i,t} = Q^\phi_{i,t}\bigl(s_{i,t},a_{i,t}\bigr)+U^\psi_{i,t},1 (Zhang, 28 Aug 2025).

The reported steady-state 10-episode rolling means were Gi,t=Qi,tϕ(si,t,ai,t)+Ui,tψ,G_{i,t} = Q^\phi_{i,t}\bigl(s_{i,t},a_{i,t}\bigr)+U^\psi_{i,t},2 for Embedding-SAC, Gi,t=Qi,tϕ(si,t,ai,t)+Ui,tψ,G_{i,t} = Q^\phi_{i,t}\bigl(s_{i,t},a_{i,t}\bigr)+U^\psi_{i,t},3 for MADDPG-PS, Gi,t=Qi,tϕ(si,t,ai,t)+Ui,tψ,G_{i,t} = Q^\phi_{i,t}\bigl(s_{i,t},a_{i,t}\bigr)+U^\psi_{i,t},4 for MADDPG-NPS, and Gi,t=Qi,tϕ(si,t,ai,t)+Ui,tψ,G_{i,t} = Q^\phi_{i,t}\bigl(s_{i,t},a_{i,t}\bigr)+U^\psi_{i,t},5 for the uncontrolled baseline. Embedding-SAC converged in approximately Gi,t=Qi,tϕ(si,t,ai,t)+Ui,tψ,G_{i,t} = Q^\phi_{i,t}\bigl(s_{i,t},a_{i,t}\bigr)+U^\psi_{i,t},6 episodes, while MADDPG-PS/NPS required approximately Gi,t=Qi,tϕ(si,t,ai,t)+Ui,tψ,G_{i,t} = Q^\phi_{i,t}\bigl(s_{i,t},a_{i,t}\bigr)+U^\psi_{i,t},7–Gi,t=Qi,tϕ(si,t,ai,t)+Ui,tψ,G_{i,t} = Q^\phi_{i,t}\bigl(s_{i,t},a_{i,t}\bigr)+U^\psi_{i,t},8 episodes and were unstable. Removing embeddings and reverting to raw one-hot inputs caused approximately Gi,t=Qi,tϕ(si,t,ai,t)+Ui,tψ,G_{i,t} = Q^\phi_{i,t}\bigl(s_{i,t},a_{i,t}\bigr)+U^\psi_{i,t},9 slower convergence and a Ui,tψU^\psi_{i,t}0 drop in final reward. Within the bus-control literature, this is the clearest instance in which BusiAgent denotes a specific architectural proposal rather than a generic bus-control agent (Zhang, 28 Aug 2025).

4. Enterprise decision support and neuro-symbolic process orchestration

In enterprise AI, BusiAgent denotes a very different class of systems. "From Bits to Boardrooms: A Cutting-Edge Multi-Agent LLM Framework for Business Excellence" (Wang et al., 21 Aug 2025) defines BusiAgent as a six-module framework spanning fine-grained operational reasoning and boardroom-level strategy. Its modules are Role-Based Agent Modeling, Collaboration Optimizer, Hierarchical Decision Engine, Tool Integration System, Prompt Optimization (Contextual Thompson Sampling), and Quality Assurance System. Each role is modeled as an extended CTMDP

Ui,tψU^\psi_{i,t}1

with optimal value function

Ui,tψU^\psi_{i,t}2

Horizontal collaboration is optimized via a Rényi-type generalized entropy

Ui,tψU^\psi_{i,t}3

while vertical coordination is enforced through a multi-level Stackelberg game with equilibrium policy

Ui,tψU^\psi_{i,t}4

Prompt selection is formulated as contextual Thompson sampling with Gaussian-process priors and expected regret bound

Ui,tψU^\psi_{i,t}5

On the AI Company Generation dataset of Ui,tψU^\psi_{i,t}6 tasks—Ui,tψU^\psi_{i,t}7 Problem Analysis, Ui,tψU^\psi_{i,t}8 Task Assignment, and Ui,tψU^\psi_{i,t}9 Solution Development—the framework reported 166-1660 improvement over the best baseline in Problem Analysis, 166-1661 in Task Assignment, user satisfaction of 166-1662 versus 166-1663 for GPT-4o and 166-1664 for GPT-3.5, and robustness on critical tasks of 166-1665 versus 166-1666 for the control policy, with Welch’s 166-1667, 166-1668 (Wang et al., 21 Aug 2025).

A second enterprise interpretation appears in "Autonomous Business System via Neuro-symbolic AI" (Pang et al., 22 Jan 2026), which presents AUTOBUS and describes it as an autonomous “Business Agent” or BusiAgent. Here the architecture couples Human Overseers, an Enterprise KG, LLM-Based AI Agents, a Predicate-Logic Engine, and Auxiliary Tools. An initiative is formalized as tasks 166-1669 with predicates

$42$0

and a canonical task schema rule

$42$1

Enterprise KG triples are translated into Prolog facts and schema-level constraints into foundational rules; the LLM agent synthesizes task-specific rules and action predicates from natural-language instructions, KG schema, and tool catalogs; the logic engine then performs backward and forward chaining, checks preconditions, invokes external tools, and verifies postconditions. Human overseers define semantics and policies, curate tools, and supervise ambiguous or high-impact decisions. This suggests a complementary enterprise interpretation of BusiAgent: not a collective of autonomous decision makers optimizing a stochastic game, but a logic-grounded executor that enforces deterministic, auditable business semantics (Pang et al., 22 Jan 2026).

5. CRM, memory-augmented task execution, and privacy-preserving negotiation

"CRMWeaver: Building Powerful Business Agent via Agentic RL and Shared Memories" (Lai et al., 29 Oct 2025) presents a business-agent architecture that is not titled BusiAgent but is explicitly framed as a practical recipe for building one. CRMWeaver uses a 4B-parameter instruct-tuned LLM, Qwen3-4B-Instruct, with a tool interface consisting of execute, date_calculation, and answer, plus a long-term memory of distilled “guidelines” indexed by BGE-small-en-v1.5 embeddings. The inference pipeline first retrieves a top-1 memory $42$2 and prepends its guideline when $42$3, with $42$4. Training combines synthetic complex data from random walks on a record graph, simple synthetic examples, and task-specific CRMArena trajectories. The RL formulation uses observation histories of prior thoughts, tool calls, and tool responses; actions are tool invocations or final answers; transitions are deterministic; and final reward is

$42$5

The PPO-style objective uses clipping bounds $42$6, $42$7, and rollout size $42$8. On CRMArena-Pro, CRMWeaver achieved B2B averages of $42$9 and B2C averages of si,t=(onboard_paxi,t,  hi(t),  hi+1(t)),s_{i,t} = \bigl(\text{onboard\_pax}_{i,t},\; h_i(t),\; h_{i+1}(t)\bigr),00, with database scores of si,t=(onboard_paxi,t,  hi(t),  hi+1(t)),s_{i,t} = \bigl(\text{onboard\_pax}_{i,t},\; h_i(t),\; h_{i+1}(t)\bigr),01 in B2B and si,t=(onboard_paxi,t,  hi(t),  hi+1(t)),s_{i,t} = \bigl(\text{onboard\_pax}_{i,t},\; h_i(t),\; h_{i+1}(t)\bigr),02 in B2C; removing shared memory reduced averages from si,t=(onboard_paxi,t,  hi(t),  hi+1(t)),s_{i,t} = \bigl(\text{onboard\_pax}_{i,t},\; h_i(t),\; h_{i+1}(t)\bigr),03 in B2B and si,t=(onboard_paxi,t,  hi(t),  hi+1(t)),s_{i,t} = \bigl(\text{onboard\_pax}_{i,t},\; h_i(t),\; h_{i+1}(t)\bigr),04 in B2C (Lai et al., 29 Oct 2025).

"Device-Native Autonomous Agents for Privacy-Preserving Negotiations" (Roy, 1 Jan 2026) then extends the business-agent idea into cryptographic, on-device bargaining. The paper’s “Implications for BusiAgent” section treats BusiAgent as an off-the-shelf, device-native, privacy-preserving autonomous negotiator. The architecture is organized as an eight-step workflow—Goal Initiation, Guardrails, Context Expansion, Intent Understanding, Adaptive Planning, Autonomous Execution, Real-Time Monitoring, and Outcome Evaluation—into which six components are embedded: Selective State Transfer, Explainable Memory, World Model Distillation, Multi-Agent Negotiation Protocol, Model-Aware Offloading, and Simulation-Critic Safety. The world model is distilled from a 7 B-parameter teacher into a 500 M-parameter student of approximately 1.2 GB. Privacy is enforced by Groth16 zk-SNARKs proving that each offer si,t=(onboard_paxi,t,  hi(t),  hi+1(t)),s_{i,t} = \bigl(\text{onboard\_pax}_{i,t},\; h_i(t),\; h_{i+1}(t)\bigr),05 satisfies

si,t=(onboard_paxi,t,  hi(t),  hi+1(t)),s_{i,t} = \bigl(\text{onboard\_pax}_{i,t},\; h_i(t),\; h_{i+1}(t)\bigr),06

without revealing si,t=(onboard_paxi,t,  hi(t),  hi+1(t)),s_{i,t} = \bigl(\text{onboard\_pax}_{i,t},\; h_i(t),\; h_{i+1}(t)\bigr),07. Reported results include an average success rate of si,t=(onboard_paxi,t,  hi(t),  hi+1(t)),s_{i,t} = \bigl(\text{onboard\_pax}_{i,t},\; h_i(t),\; h_{i+1}(t)\bigr),08, a si,t=(onboard_paxi,t,  hi(t),  hi+1(t)),s_{i,t} = \bigl(\text{onboard\_pax}_{i,t},\; h_i(t),\; h_{i+1}(t)\bigr),09 latency improvement over cloud baselines, proof generation on a high-end device of approximately si,t=(onboard_paxi,t,  hi(t),  hi+1(t)),s_{i,t} = \bigl(\text{onboard\_pax}_{i,t},\; h_i(t),\; h_{i+1}(t)\bigr),10 ms with verification under si,t=(onboard_paxi,t,  hi(t),  hi+1(t)),s_{i,t} = \bigl(\text{onboard\_pax}_{i,t},\; h_i(t),\; h_{i+1}(t)\bigr),11 ms, and user trust rising from si,t=(onboard_paxi,t,  hi(t),  hi+1(t)),s_{i,t} = \bigl(\text{onboard\_pax}_{i,t},\; h_i(t),\; h_{i+1}(t)\bigr),12 to si,t=(onboard_paxi,t,  hi(t),  hi+1(t)),s_{i,t} = \bigl(\text{onboard\_pax}_{i,t},\; h_i(t),\; h_{i+1}(t)\bigr),13 si,t=(onboard_paxi,t,  hi(t),  hi+1(t)),s_{i,t} = \bigl(\text{onboard\_pax}_{i,t},\; h_i(t),\; h_{i+1}(t)\bigr),14 when decision trails are available (Roy, 1 Jan 2026).

Across CRMWeaver and device-native negotiation, BusiAgent functions as a business-agent design space characterized by tool use, memory, and explicit control over reliability or privacy. A plausible implication is that the enterprise meaning of the term is increasingly associated with operationally grounded agents rather than purely conversational assistants.

6. Electric-bus aggregation, pricing behavior, and governance

A further transport-specific usage appears in Manzolli et al., "When Agents Meet Electric Bus Fleet Operations: Pricing Behavior, Trade-offs, and Policy Implications in an Aggregator Framework" (Manzolli et al., 24 Jun 2026). Here the supplied summary refers to a BusiAgent framework consisting of a two-layer separation between an Optimization Core and an Agentic Layer. The Optimization Core is a mixed-integer linear model for the PTO scheduler, with variables si,t=(onboard_paxi,t,  hi(t),  hi+1(t)),s_{i,t} = \bigl(\text{onboard\_pax}_{i,t},\; h_i(t),\; h_{i+1}(t)\bigr),15, si,t=(onboard_paxi,t,  hi(t),  hi+1(t)),s_{i,t} = \bigl(\text{onboard\_pax}_{i,t},\; h_i(t),\; h_{i+1}(t)\bigr),16, si,t=(onboard_paxi,t,  hi(t),  hi+1(t)),s_{i,t} = \bigl(\text{onboard\_pax}_{i,t},\; h_i(t),\; h_{i+1}(t)\bigr),17, si,t=(onboard_paxi,t,  hi(t),  hi+1(t)),s_{i,t} = \bigl(\text{onboard\_pax}_{i,t},\; h_i(t),\; h_{i+1}(t)\bigr),18, and si,t=(onboard_paxi,t,  hi(t),  hi+1(t)),s_{i,t} = \bigl(\text{onboard\_pax}_{i,t},\; h_i(t),\; h_{i+1}(t)\bigr),19, minimizing PTO energy cost

si,t=(onboard_paxi,t,  hi(t),  hi+1(t)),s_{i,t} = \bigl(\text{onboard\_pax}_{i,t},\; h_i(t),\; h_{i+1}(t)\bigr),20

subject to service-charge exclusivity, state-of-charge dynamics, battery bounds, charger occupancy, depot aggregation, and depot exchange limits. The Agentic Layer comprises three supervisory LLM-driven agents: a Trigger Agent, a Pricing Agent, and an Evaluator Agent. The Trigger Agent computes

si,t=(onboard_paxi,t,  hi(t),  hi+1(t)),s_{i,t} = \bigl(\text{onboard\_pax}_{i,t},\; h_i(t),\; h_{i+1}(t)\bigr),21

and raises re-optimization when si,t=(onboard_paxi,t,  hi(t),  hi+1(t)),s_{i,t} = \bigl(\text{onboard\_pax}_{i,t},\; h_i(t),\; h_{i+1}(t)\bigr),22 or a hard-risk flag is active. The Pricing Agent selects bounded multipliers si,t=(onboard_paxi,t,  hi(t),  hi+1(t)),s_{i,t} = \bigl(\text{onboard\_pax}_{i,t},\; h_i(t),\; h_{i+1}(t)\bigr),23 and si,t=(onboard_paxi,t,  hi(t),  hi+1(t)),s_{i,t} = \bigl(\text{onboard\_pax}_{i,t},\; h_i(t),\; h_{i+1}(t)\bigr),24 for tariffs under either profit-based or operational-based coordination.

The real-time experiments introduce service delays of si,t=(onboard_paxi,t,  hi(t),  hi+1(t)),s_{i,t} = \bigl(\text{onboard\_pax}_{i,t},\; h_i(t),\; h_{i+1}(t)\bigr),49 min, route-energy deviations of si,t=(onboard_paxi,t,  hi(t),  hi+1(t)),s_{i,t} = \bigl(\text{onboard\_pax}_{i,t},\; h_i(t),\; h_{i+1}(t)\bigr),50, price shocks of si,t=(onboard_paxi,t,  hi(t),  hi+1(t)),s_{i,t} = \bigl(\text{onboard\_pax}_{i,t},\; h_i(t),\; h_{i+1}(t)\bigr),51, and combined disturbances. Under P+50, profit-based mode yielded PTO cost si,t=(onboard_paxi,t,  hi(t),  hi+1(t)),s_{i,t} = \bigl(\text{onboard\_pax}_{i,t},\; h_i(t),\; h_{i+1}(t)\bigr),52 EUR and aggregator revenue si,t=(onboard_paxi,t,  hi(t),  hi+1(t)),s_{i,t} = \bigl(\text{onboard\_pax}_{i,t},\; h_i(t),\; h_{i+1}(t)\bigr),53 EUR, while operational-based mode yielded PTO cost si,t=(onboard_paxi,t,  hi(t),  hi+1(t)),s_{i,t} = \bigl(\text{onboard\_pax}_{i,t},\; h_i(t),\; h_{i+1}(t)\bigr),54 EUR and aggregator revenue si,t=(onboard_paxi,t,  hi(t),  hi+1(t)),s_{i,t} = \bigl(\text{onboard\_pax}_{i,t},\; h_i(t),\; h_{i+1}(t)\bigr),55 EUR, a gap of si,t=(onboard_paxi,t,  hi(t),  hi+1(t)),s_{i,t} = \bigl(\text{onboard\_pax}_{i,t},\; h_i(t),\; h_{i+1}(t)\bigr),56 EUR/day. Profit-based mode also eliminated V2G export in all combined scenarios, whereas operational-based mode preserved export except under extreme late-day stress. This is the most explicit policy-oriented treatment of BusiAgent in the corpus: the same agentic capability that simplifies charging coordination can transfer cost exposure to the PTO when pricing is profit-oriented. The paper therefore emphasizes tariff-margin bounds, value-sharing rules, transparency of coordination mode and prompt schema, and reporting of realized tariff vectors, trigger decisions, accepted schedules, and value allocations (Manzolli et al., 24 Jun 2026).
