Abstract

As more and more traffic control instruments are installed to promote the flow in road traffic networks the probability increases that either conflicts will arise or coordination opportunities are lost when traffic control instruments are applied in the same area. By modeling the separate instruments as intelligent agents, the actions of the individual instruments can be coordinated. This paper illustrates the benefits of multi-agent coordination and proposes a procedure through which coordination between traffic control instruments can be achieved.
