Abstract
As more and more traffic control instruments are installed, the probability
increases that conflicts will arise or that coordination opportunities are lost
when various traffic control measures are applied in the same area. Traffic
control instruments can thus no longer be considered separately, but have to be
considered as part of a larger network. By modeling the separate measures as
intelligent agents, the actions of the individual instruments can be
coordinated. By coordinating neighboring traffic control instruments, it can be
prevented that they impede each other and one can realize that they function
better as a whole. This paper proposes a procedure through which coordination
between traffic control instruments can be achieved. We also illustrate the
benefits of this multi-agent coordination approach for a simulation-based case
study for the N470 arterial near Delft, The Netherlands, in which the new
coordination approach is combined with a recently proposed block-based
look-ahead traffic-adaptive control algorithm.
