  • Collaborative distributed agent-based traffic light system and method of use
    Patent number: 11715371
    Abstract: In this disclosure, collaborative multi-agent-based TST is presented with dedicated intersection controllers that include software agents which read local and remote detection systems and then collaboratively optimize signal timing phases by considering the feedback of all controller agents that may be affected by a change. The disclosure also presents an augmented system which considers network input from handheld remote devices to update certain traffic light phase information and adapt to emerging emergency situations.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 23, 2021
    Date of Patent: August 1, 2023
    Assignee: Board of Regents, The University of Texas System
