Abstract:

In this paper we present a test bed for multi-agent control systems in road 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 that comprise the multi-agent system 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 aids in-depth research in this field, which we demonstrate by means of two example scenarios we have implemented.
