摘要： 粘菌的原生质体是肉眼可见的单细胞。 在觅食行为期间，细胞会通过原生质网络连接空间分布的营养源。 原生质网络的几何结构使原生质体能够优化其身体远端之间的营养物质传输，分布式地感知环境，并对进一步的迁移路线做出去中心化的决策。 我们考虑英国人口最多的十个城市区域，并研究从“原生质体的观点”来看，这些城市区域之间运输线路的最佳布局是什么。 我们将城市区域的地理位置表示为燕麦片，将原生质体接种在大伦敦地区，并分析原生质体的觅食行为。 我们使用一种粒子集体来模拟原生质体的行为，该集体对环境条件作出反应以构建和最小化运输网络。 我们的初步实验结果表明，在其殖民实验空间的过程中，原生质体会形成一个与主要高速公路网络同构的原生质网络，除了连接英格兰和苏格兰的高速公路。 我们还模拟了运输网络对灾难性事件的反应，并展示了在自然灾害或人工灾难期间运输网络如何重新配置。 本研究的结果为未来基于生物启发的城市和道路规划科学奠定了基础。 显示英文摘要

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.
