Abstract Traffic system is a typical complex system emerged through interactions among a large number of traffic actors such as car drivers, pedestrians and others. We model each actor as an intelligent agent that can judge and act by itself autonomously, and develop a traffic simulator named MATES, which is based on an intelligent multi-agent model. In this simulator, microscopic behaviors of the traffic actors cause macroscopic traffic phenomena through their interaction. In this research, we newly develop a coordinative behavior model among multiple cars, and implement it to MATES to enhance the reproducibility of traffic More >
