Abstract

Traffic telematics applications, like road traffic management, operate in an extremely dynamic mobile computing environment. The Mobile Agent paradigm here becomes a promising alternative to the conventional client/server approach. In this article we evaluate the application of Mobile Agent Technology in the area of vehicular traffic management and introduce a general application partitioning model which facilitates the combination of asynchronous and autonomous operation, data filtering and scheduling in a user specific manner. A sample application and performance results are presented.
