Abstract
It is well-known that big cities suffer from traffic congestion and all consequences that come with it. This is an especial problem in cities in developing countries where the public transportation system is not reliable and where the fleet of vehicles tend to be old thus increasing air pollution. There is no turnkey solution for this problem, but several improvements have been suggested in the field of urban and traffic management, provided an information system is built which can provide information to both the traffic experts and the user of the system. Such an information system has to incorporate features of an ITS and an ATIS. An underline assumption is that there is a simulation model to provide certain kinds of information in forecast. This paper discusses the model and implementation of such an information system which is based on a microscopic model of simulation and on cellular automata and is implemented using agent technologies and with a bottom-up philosophy in mind. We give here an overview of the project, the details of the modules (data, simulation, driver and information/visualization), as well as discuss an application of the simulation tool.
