中文摘要：

多智能体技术通过各自治智能体间的通讯、协调、合作来表达实际的复杂系统,特别适用于城市交通系统的建模。在分析了多智能体技术和城市交通系统特性的基础上,对多智能体在城市交通管理系统、出行信息系统和公交系统中的应用现状进行了综合论述,对各个领域最具代表性的应用进行了介绍和分析。研究认为,多智能体技术为城市交通问题提供了良好的解决方案,在具体应用中需要对交通环境和实体进行准确的建模,缓解通信需求、降低运算量及低协调复杂度、增强应用系统的稳定性和安全性。最后指出了多智能体技术在城市交通系统应用中的发展趋势。

英文摘要：

By adopting communication,coordination and corporation between agents,multi-agent technology can express complex system and especially can be used to model urban traffic system.Based on the analysis of the characters of multi-agent technology and urban traffic system,application status are summarized from the urban traffic management system,traveler information system and public transportation system.The most representative applications of all areas are also introduced and analyzed.Study shows that multi-agent technology provides effective solutions for urban traffic problems,and it is suggested that in order to make a better use of multi-agent technology,traffic environment and activities need to be modeled correctly. Communication needs to be reduced.Computational and coordination complexity need to be cut down. System stability and security need to be strengthened.Further applications and research directions are also discussed in detail.
