Abstract

In this paper, we proposed an architecture of a hierarchical networked urban traffic signal control system Based on Multi-agent. With mobile agent technology, traffic control strategies are designed as traffic control agents, which can move from device to device in a network. The system can reconfigure and replace these agents according to inconstant states of traffic environment and performances of agents. By this way, demand-based control is realized in traffic signal control system. Then we described the details and key technologies in the procession of agent-generation, agent-storage and agent-usage. At last, a prototype of the system is developed and basic functions of this system are tested by simulations. These simulations also confirm extensibility and effectiveness of the system.
