Abstract: This research effort will explore a multi-agent negotiation-based approach to traffic management and route guidance. In the proposed multi-agent system called Cooperative Transportation Management and Route Guidance System (CTMRGS), IRANS (In-vehicle Routing and Navigation Systems) and ISPs (Information Service Providers) are represented as agents. The idea is to allow all drivers and their IRANS to have the ability to choose, make, and pay for a safe, efficient, cost-effective trip. Each IRANS agent negotiates with the ISP agents about the trip for a minimal change in the preferred routes and thus ensures that the driver will comply with it. The ISP agents inform network managers with the anticipated road usages in exchange for the current traffic conditions to be used in the ISP's negotiation model. The proposed negotiation is based on a new principled negotiation based approach that is significantly different from other multi-agent negotiation and bargaining approaches (e.g., contract-net) discussed in the literature. Therefore negotiation is not entirely based on individual agent's utility maximization criteria. The agents exchange their objective criteria before they negotiate for routes so that each other's objectives are included in the route generation and alteration functions. The proposed multi-agent system is compliant with ATIS6 market package for Integrated Transportation Management/Route Guidance with specific focus on overcoming drivers' non-compliance hurdles present in the current ATIS6 package.

摘要：这项研究工作将探讨一种基于多代理谈判的交通管理和路线指导的方法。在拟议的多机构系统中，称为合作运输管理和路线指导系统（CTMRGS），伊朗（车内路由和导航系统）和ISP（信息服务提供商）表示为代理。这个想法是允许所有司机及其伊朗人有能力选择，制造和付费，以进行安全，高效，具有成本效益的旅行。每个伊朗代理商都与ISP代理商谈判有关此行程的最小变化，从而确保驾驶员遵守它。 ISP代理商将预期的道路使用情况告知网络经理，以换取在ISP的谈判模型中使用的当前交通状况。拟议的谈判是基于一种新的基于原则谈判的方法，该方法与文献中讨论的其他多代理谈判和谈判方法（例如，合同网）有显着差异。因此，谈判并不完全基于个人代理的效用最大化标准。代理商在协商路线之前交换其客观标准，以便将彼此的目标包括在路线的生成和更改功能中。拟议的多代理系统符合ATIS6市场包，用于集成运输管理/路线指南，特别关注当前ATIS6包中存在的驾驶员的不合规障碍。
