Abstract
As a result of increasing congestion and the sharper constraints on the traffic
system with respect to throughput, safety, and air quality, the number of
traffic control instruments will increase both in number and in heterogeneity.
As more and more traffic control instruments are installed to promote the flow
of traffic the probability increases that conflicts will arise or that
coordination opportunities are lost when traffic control instruments 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 instruments as intelligent agents, the actions of the
individual instruments can be coordinated. This paper illustrates the benefits
of multi-agent coordination and defines a procedure and a new movement-based
look-ahead traffic-adaptive control algorithm through which coordination
between traffic control instruments can be achieved.
