Papers

Title	Author	Scope	Problem	Solution	Comments
Traffic Intersections of the Future	K Dresner and P Stone	Single intersection, automated drivers	Increased efficiency and throughput	Tile-based Reservation	Good references
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
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
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.
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.
