Abstract
The rapid development of modern transportation brings tremendous challenges to the intelligent transport system. Intelligent computer supported cooperative work (CSCW) and wireless communication technology are more and more used in intelligent transport systems. In this paper, we adopt wireless communication technology: ad hoc network, GPS, GIS, WIMAX, and WiFi, and design an intelligent transport system based on a multi-agent system, and implement the design in our experimental environment. The proposed system will help vehicle drivers make quick responses to the road emergency. Meanwhile it will also help vehicle drivers around the emergency area to make appropriate decisions.
