A Multi-Hop Agent-Based Traffic Signal Timing System for the City of Richardson
Pages 2094 - 2096
Abstract
In this paper, we present a multi-agent Traffic Signal Timing system (TST) where intersection controller agents collaborate with one another across congested areas of the traffic network. The multi-hop agent-based traffic system is based on the TST of the City of Richardson, Texas, and is intended to be deployed with minimal changes to the infrastructure.
