Advanced traffic signal controllers are able to facilitate the realization of advanced traffic management strategies. The traffic signal controllers nowadays can not provide complex computation for supporting the requirements of Advanced Traffic Management System (ATMS). Therefore, the performance of advanced traffic management strategy will be lowered. This research aims at combining the technologies of embedded systems and software agents to support ATMS for performing advanced traffic management strategies. The experimental system proposed in this paper includes three major components: Virtual Traffic Police (VTP), Status Monitor Agent (SMA) and Traffic Control Integration Module (TCIM). In the proposed system, a traffic signal controller is the hardware platform for performing the VTP. A VTP owns the information of traffic strategies and supports the information exchange and message publishing among traffic signal controllers. A SMA is responsible for monitoring the execution of traffic strategies to ensure the execution accuracy of traffic signals. A TCIM integrates the hardware, such as traffic control module, electric information board, and camera, for supporting a high efficient and various traffic control mechanism.
