An Intelligent Agent based approach for controlling the Traffic Light in Sultanate of Oman- A Java Simulator

Abstract

The agent is anything that uses sensors to perceive its environments and actors to act on that environments. In general, the agent runs in a cycle of thoughts, acting, thinking, and perceiving, and the world around us is full of agents including cameras, cellphones, and even ourselves, so an agent can be a human, robotic, and software agent. Now the most popular agents are the intelligence agents that are a self-contained entity that uses sensors and actuators to communicate with its environments to achieve its objectives by learning from its surroundings, so it's anything like a thermostat. This paper aims to simulator an agent using Java language that’s can control and maintain a traffic light at four intersections with two roads intersecting and traffic following in both direction, and there are three main lights in the traffic light green, yellow and red, as well as the pedestrian indicator. the implementation of this simulator will help to understand the traffic light function in just a simple and intelligent way by concentrating on the action that’s can be taken, the precept that can be used to take those actions, and the performance measurements that can be used. The output of this study is a simulation of an ideal agent that controls the traffic light in the Sultanate of Oman using Java.
