Abstract

In this paper, we present MATS-Cloud, a cloud-based microservices architecture designed for multi-agent-based Traffic Control Systems (TCS). This architecture facilitates decentralized control, real-time responsiveness, and dynamic scalability. To validate our approach, we have transitioned DALI, a multi-agent collaborative TCS, from its current server-based architecture to the cloud, implementing this new architecture. Experimental results demonstrate significant improvements in latency reduction and system adaptability when compared to the traditional server-based model.
