Multi-Agent Systems: Traffic Control Application

Abstract

Multi-agent system technology has been proposed to model any systems whose resources are distributed (systems that can be found everywhere in the real world). Through system modeling using this technology the system's flexibility and capacity to resolve unpredicted situations that appear inside it, have been improved. In this article, multi-agent systems technology advantages and applications are presented. Multi-agent systems can model systems from various domains such as transportation (road transportation, railroad, air, maritime), industry, healthcare, and military. At the end of the article, the traffic control application is proposed.
