Agent-Based Traffic Obstacles Information System

Abstract

Traffic management is one of the important aspects of modern cities. With the advent of so-called Smart Cities, it is claimed that information technologies can be used to deliver a substantial improvement in vehicle flow. As a result, among others, travel time and \\(\\text {CO}_2\\) generation can be reduced. In this paper, we present an agent-based traffic obstacles information and avoidance system. We discuss the advantages of such a system, its key components, and technologies used during implementation. We also present sample scenarios, illustrating how the implemented system works.
