Study on cooperation of UTCS and UTFGS based on CSCW and MultiAgent

Abstract

The cooperation of UTCS (Urban Traffic Control System) and UTFGS (Urban Traffic Flow Guidance System) performs an important function at alleviating traffic jam, improving urban traffic environment and advancing the street capacity. Because it's a complex system, we have to study it with intelligent method. The system framework and agent structure based on CSCW and Multi-Agent are discussed after the relationship of them was analyzed. UTCS agent was taken as an example to introduce the inherent structure and mechanism. The key techniques such as data integration technology, cooperation and share mechanism of information and cooperative control mechanism were discussed. The intelligent collaboration algorithms were put forward, which would realize the intelligent collaboration and optimization of whole control system. The methods presented make the cooperation system of UTCS and UTFGS effectively run.
