Abstract (EN): TraSMAPI (Traffic Simulation Manager Application Programming Interface) is designed to provide real-time interaction with Traffic Simulators, collect relevant metrics and statistics, and offer an integrated framework to develop Multi-Agent Systems. It is presented as a tool for the simulation of dynamic control systems in road networks with special focus on Multi-Agent Systems. The abstraction over the simulator opens up the possibility of running different traffic simulators using the same API (application programming interface) allowing the comparison of results of the same application in different simulators. The proposed approach is, therefore, expected to be a key asset in supporting and enhancing engineers and practitioners to make more effective control decisions and implement more efficient management policies while analyzing and addressing traffic related problems in urban areas. ©2010 IEEE.
