24
Some projects Meteosafety
Objective• To optimize the efficiency of detector/actuators to improve road
safety in adverse weather situations.
Status of the ART

Some projects Meteosafety
Two levels of intelligence
26
Some projectsMeteosafety
Local system• Meteo station• URS• VMS and/or RDS• One or more DCS
27
Some projects Meteosafety
MAS architecture
28
Some projects NEDPIC: Distributed multi-agent negotiation
model for the intelligent parking trucks. Objective
• To study and specify an integral model for the intelligent truck parking management.
• It takes into account the constraints:– Drivers– Routes and rest areas– Dangerous goods
• It will establish criteria for collective optimization and traffic management.
• To improve both the individual and collective management of parking areas.
Collaboration between UJI and UV
29
Some projects NEDPIC: two subprojects
New methodology for the definition of ontologies recommendations (W3C, OWL 2) • A new ontological description of the actors involved in
the ITP management will be created An innovative multi-agent system to support the
development of ITP management strategies • Compatible with the current V2V and V2I
communication architectures. • A new negotiation protocol will be created
– based on fuzzy decision algorithms and dynamic prioritization criteria for each scenario (individual, section, or network)
30
Some projects DEMANAT. A MAS environment for
automated negotiation in traffic. Objectives
• A new automated negotiation protocol to support the management of no urban incidences
31
Some projects CTMSimAgent: Using Agents to improve
Traffic simulators Collaboration between UJI and UWB Objective
• Improve the Meteosafety MAS with a traffic forecast agent.
• Real time and off line Request
• Good and Open source traffic simulator 1st approach
• CTSIM simulator
32
Some projects CTMSimAgent
Based on Cell Transmission Model (CTM) Advantages
• It takes about a minute to simulate one day’s operation of a freeway.
• Open source• Good results
Disadvantages• Needs Matlab• Only simulates a single freeway (with various on-ramps
and off-ramps) i.e. the simulation for a road network is not supported.
33
Some projects CTMSimAgent
Implementation• Java• Jade MAS platform
Agent• It controls CTMSim and Matlab with a wrapping M-script• It uses JMatIO for work with Matlab files• The whole simulation process (input, process and results)
are in the agent• It is quite simple and independent• The input parameters could be provided by meteosafety
agents
34
Some projects CTMSimAgent: Testing the agents.
35
Some projects CTMSimAgent
Simulations1. R1 normal traffic, R2 normal traffic 2. R1 high traffic, R2 normal traffic 3. R1 normal traffic, R2 normal traffic
» Increase of 20% in off-ramp p1
4. R1 hight traffic, R2 normal traffic» Increase of 40% in off-ramp
5. R1 hight traffic, R2 normal traffic» Increase of 40% in off-ramp P1» Increase of 40% in on ramp P2
36
Some projects CTMSimAgent
Results are positives• Traffic simulation results are similar to AIMSUM
simulator results.• Using CTMSimAgents a road network could be
simulated• It could be integrated in other MAS platforms, like
Meteosafety A paper for a conference/journal is being
prepared.
