Abstract(s)

This paper describes an intelligent traffic management system applied to road intersections, namely round-about and crossroads. A microscopic traffic simulator was developed to study intelligent traffic management techniques and evaluate their performance. The intelligent management techniques are aimed to minimize accidents, traffic congestion and consequently the environmental costs of road traffic. Each vehicle is modeled by an agent and each agent provides information depending on its vehicle sensors. Two intersection types, roundabout and crossroads, were simulated each using its intelligent traffic management system. Both intersections use an algorithm based on a spatio-temporal reservation scheme. The envisioned intelligent traffic management algorithm is supported by vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-infrastructure communications, allowing the exchange of information between vehicles and the intersection intelligent traffic management system. The developed intelligent traffic management system is very well suited for autonomous vehicles, it can also be used by human drivers if they follow accurately the proposed speed profile along the path.
