Abstract

In this paper the authors investigate how the autonomous agents methodology can be used for modeling and simulation of urban traffic systems. The proposed approach allows to directly include subjective measures for characterizing drivers’ behavior throgh a specific information set, different goals and different strategies. A description of the basic agent models as: driver, traffic-light and toll is reported. An object oriented modeling and simulation environment has been implemented in JAVA in order to allow the system to run on different platforms. Moreover JAVA, through is multithread structure is particular well suited to the representation of a multiagent population.
