Abstract (EN): This paper presents the description of the various steps to analyze and design a multi-agent system for the real-time traffic control at isolated intersections. The control strategies for traffic signals are a high-importance topic due to impacts on economy, environment and society, affecting people and freight transport that have been studied by many researches during the last decades. The research target is to develop an approach for controlling traffic signals that rely on flexibility and maximal level of freedom in control where the system is updated frequently to meet current traffic demand taking into account different traffic users. The proposed model was designed on the basis of the Gaia methodology, introducing a new perspective in the approach where each isolated intersection is a multi-agent system on its own right.
