| *Title* | *Author*  | *Scope* | *Problem* | *Solution* | *Comments* |
| [[http://www.cs.utexas.edu/~kdresner/pubs/files/2006aaai-nectar-dresner.pdf][Traffic Intersections of the Future]] | K Dresner and P Stone | Single intersection, automated drivers | Increased efficiency and throughput | Tile-based Reservation | Good references |
| [[http://citeseer.ist.psu.edu/cache/papers/cs/13187/ftp:zSzzSzcci.ct.tudelft.nlzSzeuro99.pdf/roozemond99using.pdf][Using Intelligent Agents for Urban Traffic Control Systems]] | D Roozemond  | Multi-Intersection, human-controlled vehicles | General optimizing framework | Rule-based pseudo-agent approach | Terrible paper, no real content |
| [[http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/iel1/25/2453/00069966.pdf?tp=&isnumber=&arnumber=69966][Optimizing Networks of Traffic Signals in Real Time - The SCOOT Method]] | D Robertson and R Bretherton | multiple intersections, human-controlled vehicles | To minimize queues and vehicles stops at intersection  | SCOOT improved on TRANSYT (signal coordination based on fixed time plans) (1) measure CFP in real time (2) update online model of queues continuously (3) incremental optimization of signal settings | Definitely a useful real scenario on signal coordination technique |
| [[http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/iel3/3097/8739/00385804.pdf?arnumber=385804][10 Years with LHOVRA - What are the experiences]] | P Engstrom | multiple intersections | Reduce stops, delays, and accidents in rural & urban areas | L=Truck Priority, H=Major road priority, O=Incident reduction, V=Variable green/yellow, R=Reduction of red light infringement | Seems to be poorly translated, I didn't get much out of this paper. |
| [[http://www.springerlink.com/content/l43xl51683w267h3/][A Distributed Approach for Coordination of Traffic Signal Agents]] | Ana L. C. Bazzan | Multiple intersections | Maximize throughput and traffic saftey; minimize travel times and environmental costs | Pseudo-agent multiagent learning approach | Some good cites. The multiagent learning seems a little hacky |
| Game Theory: Potential Applications in Transportation Planning | Karim A. S. Ismail | Multiple intersections | Finding out applications for game theory in traffic | Driver timing, Road Pricing, Traffic Assignment, Public Transport, Signal Timing | Looks like a good start |
| Different Policy Objectives of the Road Pricing Problem – a Game Theory Approach | D Joksimovic et al | one origin-destination (OD) pair, 2 travellers, 1 person as road authority | model road pricing problem as 3 types of games: Cournot, Stackelberg and social planner game | Multiple optimal solutions exist. the objective functions may have a non-continuous shape | scope of the problem is pretty reasonable.  not much empirical studies, looks like mostly theoretical stuff. |
