摘要
This paper explores the use of cooperative, distributed multi-a-gent systems to improve dynamic routing and traffic management. On the supply-side, real-time control over the transportation network is accomplished through an agent-based distributed hierarchy of system operators. Allocation of network capacity and distribution of traffic advisories are performed by agents that act on behalf of information service providers. Driver needs and preferences are represented by agents embedded in intelligent In-vehicle route guidance systems. Negotiation between ISP and driver agents seek a more efficient route allocation across time and space. Results from simulation experiments suggest that negotiation can achieve more optimal network performance and increased driver satisfaction. (C) 2004 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
