%T Decentralized Control for Coordinated flow of Multi-Agent Systems %A Valentino Crespi %A George Cybenko %A Massimo Santini %A Daniela Rus %R Technical Report TR2002-414 %I Dartmouth College, Computer Science %C Hanover, NH %D January 2002 %U http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/reports/TR2002-414.ps.Z %X This paper describes a distributed algorithm for coordinating the flow of a mass of vehicles approaching a highway exit or a tollbooth. We provide the problem formulation, a general methodology for distributed control and an instantiation of this methodology to the coordinated flow problem. We analyze our algorithm and provide experimental data.
