Modeling and Verification of Agent based Adaptive Traffic Signal using Symbolic Model Verifier
This paper addresses the issue of modeling and verification of a Multi Agent
System (MAS) scenario. We have considered an agent based adaptive traffic
signal system. The system monitors the smooth flow of traffic at intersection
of two road segment. After describing how the adaptive traffic signal system
can efficiently be used and showing its advantages over traffic signals with
predetermined periods, we have shown how we can transform this scenario into
Finite State Machine (FSM). Once the system is transformed into a FSM, we have
verified the specifications specified in Computational Tree Logic(CTL) using
NuSMV as a model checking tool. Simulation results obtained from NuSMV showed
us whether the system satisfied the specifications or not. It has also showed
us the state where the system specification does not hold. Using which we
traced back our system to find the source, leading to the specification
violation. Finally, we again verified the modified system with NuSMV for its
specifications.Comment: 13 pages, 6 figures, Submitted to International Journal of Computer
