*9.3. Smart City Tra*ffi*c Management*

The goal of the traffic simulation is the recognition of flows, jams, and structures (clusters) on streets and places. In [21], adaptive and partly self-organising traffic management was achieved by using a Multi-agent System (MAS) with multi-levels of decision making and a hierarchical organisational structure.

The simulation results can be finally used to manage real-world traffic by agents in real-time. Real-world traffic flows can be influenced by technical traffic infrastructure, by traffic information systems, by vehicle driver behaviour (which can be diverse), or by influencing people's decision making (on a temporally and spatially short-range scale)
