Abstract
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.
This research has been partly supported by the Spanish research projects CICYT DPI2002-04357-c03-02 and Fundacio Caixa- Castello P1 1B2003-36.
