Agent-Based Management of Non Urban Road Meteorological Incidents

摘要

Current protocols for defining and developing traffic strategies for dealing with non urban road meteorological incidents are human-centric based. These protocols are not easy to implement and, often, they do not work as well as proposed. This is mainly due to the following reasons: 1) traffic flow information is usually distributed in several equipments belonging to different traffic management centres, so the traffic operators only have a reduced view of the overall incident information; and 2) there are several traffic administrations and offices with competences in traffic management, so operators from different administrations and offices have to manually coordinated competences, resources and information. A Multiagent System (MAS) able to help traffic operators to determine the best traffic strategies and to help them in coordinating tasks is proposed in this paper. The A-3 Spanish freeway, a real traffic domain, is being used as the non urban domain where the proposed MAS is being evaluated.
