| Abstract: |
| In recent years, research over information exchange between vehicles has been growing, with the goal to improve safety and efficiency in traffic. This project describes the development of a multi-agent system for simulation of connected vehicles in road crossings, in order to remove the need for traffic lights. The system was developed using the C# programming language and Boris.NET platform for communication between agents. The user can specify the desired environments using JSON files which are read at the simulation startup. A 2D graphical interface was also created to view the simulation, so that it can follow an agent or stay at a map position. Comparisons were made based on test cases between connected and manually driven vehicles. Data analysis proved the efficiency of vehicles that communicate with each other, showing their superior efficiency at crossroads. Finally, this project concludes that studies related to connected vehicles are of high value for transportation development and that simulation may help prove concepts and theories previously affirmed |
