Increased traffic congestion and the associated pollution are forcing everyone in transportation to think about rapid changes in traffic processes and procedures [2]. This paper titled "Cloud Computing for Agent-Based Traffic Management Systems" illustrates the use of autonomy, mobility, and adaptability of mobile agents to deal with dynamic vehicular traffic over the cloud environment [1]. Cloud computing can help such systems cope with the large amounts of storage and computing resources required to use traffic strategy agents and mass transport data effectively. This paper also reviews the history of the development of traffic control and management systems within the evolving computing paradigm and shows the state of traffic control and management systems based on mobile multi agent technology [3]. Intelligent transportation clouds could provide services such as decision support and a standard development environment for traffic management strategies. With mobile agent technology, an urban-traffic management system based on Agent-Based Distributed and Adaptive Platforms for Transportation Systems (ADAPTS) [3] is both feasible and effective. However, the large-scale use of mobile agents will lead to the emergence of a complex, powerful organization layer that requires enormous computing and power resources. To deal with this problem, the proposed system also illustrates an urban-traffic management system using intelligent traffic clouds.
