To realize this potential, efficient algorithms are needed. \r\nHowever, most existing studies locally optimize one intersection at a time, and this can cause negative externalities on the traffic network as a whole.\r\nHere, we focus on coordinating multiple intersections,\r\nand formulate the problem as a distributed constraint optimisation problem (DCOP). We consider three utility design approaches that trade off efficiency and fairness.\r\nOur polynomial-time algorithm for coordinating multiple intersections reduces the traffic delay by about 41 percentage points compared to independent single intersection management approaches.","doi":"10.24963/ijcai.2022/534","url":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2022/534","pdf":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2022/0534.pdf","markdown":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2022/534.md","bibtex":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2022/bibtex/534","volume":{"slug":"2022","title":"Proceedings of the Thirty-First International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence","short_title":"IJCAI 2022","url":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2022/","year":2022,"location":"Vienna","dates":"23-29 July 2022","editors":"Luc De Raedt","isbn":"978-1-956792-00-3","publisher":"International Joint Conferences on Artificial Intelligence Organization","doi_prefix":"10.24963/ijcai.2022"},"section":"Multidisciplinary Topics and Applications","track":"Main Track","number":534,"pages":{"first":3847,"last":3853},"keywords":["Constraint Satisfaction and Optimization: Distributed Constraints","Agent-based and Multi-agent Systems: Coordination and Cooperation","Multidisciplinary Topics and Applications: Transportation"],"videos":[{"label":"Video #1","url":"https://slideslive.com/38986849","length_sec":89,"provider":"slideslive"},{"label":"Video #2","url":"https://slideslive.com/38984992","length_sec":314,"provider":"slideslive"}],"references":[{"position":1,"raw":"[Barmpounakis and Geroliminis, 2020] Emmanouil Barm- pounakis and Nikolas Geroliminis.
