Abstract

This work reports on the use of the concept of artificial transportation systems to implement a framework to allow the specification and test of new generation intelligent traffic control systems. A JADE implementation of a real agent application is linked to a virtual traffic domain to test control behaviour of traffic semaphores. Mixing reality and virtual environments is expected to foster the development of new generation of urban transport solutions. First experiments were carried out, which demonstrated the feasibility of the approach.
