Abstract
As the complexity of traffic control on a network grows it becomes more
difficult to coordinate the actions of the large number of traffic management
instruments that are available in the network. One way of handling this
complexity is to divide the coordination problem into smaller coherent
subproblems that can be solved with a minimum of interaction. The decomposition
of a problem into various subproblems is an active field of research in the
world of distributed artificial intelligence. In this paper we present a test
bed for multi-agent control systems in traffic management. In literature no
consensus exists about the best configuration of the traffic managing
multi-agent system and how the activities of the agents should be coordinated.
The system should be capable of managing different levels of complexity, a
diversity of policy goals, and different forms of traffic problems. The test
bed presented here aids in-depth research in this field.
