用黏菌规划道路：如果绒泡菌建造高速公路，它将通过纽卡斯尔路由M6/M74
Road planning with slime mould: If Physarum built motorways it would route M6/M74 through Newcastle
摘要：
多头绒泡菌疟原虫是一种肉眼可见的单细胞疟原虫。在其觅食行为中，细胞通过原生质网络跨越空间分布的营养源。原生质网络的几何结构允许原质团优化其身体偏远部位之间的营养物质转移，分布式感知其环境，并对进一步的迁移路线做出分散的决定。我们认为，在英国人口最多的十个城市地区，并研究什么将是一个最佳的布局，这些城市地区之间的交通联系，从“疟原虫的角度来看”。用燕麦片代表城市的地理位置，对大伦敦地区的疟原虫进行了观察，并分析了疟原虫的觅食行为。我们模拟的疟原虫的行为，使用粒子集体响应的环境条件，以构建和最小化的运输网络。我们的范围实验的结果表明，在其殖民化的实验空间的原质团形成一个原生质网络同构的主要高速公路网络，除了连接英格兰与苏格兰的高速公路。我们还模拟了交通网络对灾难性事件的反应，并展示了交通网络在自然或人为灾难中如何重新配置。本研究的结果为未来生物启发的城市和道路规划科学奠定了基础。
英文摘要：
Plasmodium of Physarum polycephalum is a single cell visible by unaided eye. During its foraging behaviour the cell spans spatially distributed sources of nutrients with a protoplasmic network. Geometrical structure of the protoplasmic networks allows the plasmodium to optimize transfer of nutrients between remote parts of its body, to distributively sense its environment, and make a decentralized decision about further routes of migration. We consider the ten most populated urban areas in United Kingdom and study what would be an optimal layout of transport links between these urban areas from the "plasmodium's point of view". We represent geographical locations of urban areas by oat flakes, inoculate the plasmodium in Greater London area and analyse the plasmodium's foraging behaviour. We simulate the behaviour of the plasmodium using a particle collective which responds to the environmental conditions to construct and minimise transport networks. Results of our scoping experiments show that during its colonization of the experimental space the plasmodium forms a protoplasmic network isomorphic to a network of major motorways except the motorway linking England with Scotland. We also imitate the reaction of transport network to disastrous events and show how the transport network can be reconfigured during natural or artificial cataclysms. The results of the present research lay a basis for future science of bio-inspired urban and road planning.
