Agent Based Intelligent Transportation System Software Based GPS Tracking Modules as Agents

In terms of ecology, economy and society, the development of public transportation networks is a major issue. Essentially the transportation of hazardous materials can have negative impact on human health and the environment quality. The urban networks must increase their quality in terms of punctuality and vehicle frequency to improve its attractiveness while decreasing the management cost. Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS), based on synergy between new information technologies for simulation, real-time control, and communications networks are an alternative to improve available resource management. Different artificial intelligence methods are used to deal with this problem. The best way to model efficiently these functionalities will be to use a multi-agent paradigm. This paper proposes an efficient cost effective software based agent system using GPS enable mobile devices for intelligent transportation system. Result from the research shows that mobile devices having GPS module together with web server provides the cheapest form of facility of intelligent transportation system.
