| dc.description.abstract | Abstract: In Sri Lanka, most of the traffic
controlling happens through a fixed time
controlling and runs on a static environment.
However, these traffic control systems are
not much effective compared to humanbased
traffic control. This research is focused
on the design and development of a multiagent-
based real-time traffic controlling
system that should be capable of controlling
traffic effectively. The proposed multi-agent
system technology is one of the modern
software techniques, capable of handling
complexity in the dynamic environment.
Thus, the multi-agent system has been
designed with a vehicle, junction, and
passengers are considered as agents. Traffic
control has been arranged through
communication among agents. As the initial
stage of the research, traffic behaviour was
simulated through the NetLogo simulation
tool. The efficiency of the traffic controlling
was calculated for the three different
approaches including, an uncontrolled way,
time-based static method, and agent-based
controlling. According to the simulated
results, agent-based traffic control provides
remarkable efficiency than the other existing
methods. | en_US |
