Abstract

We study voting rules as a promising option for collective decision making in traffic applications. The aim of our work is to compare the suitability of several voting rules for different traffic applications and to tackle problems which arise when applying voting rules in traffic management. Here, we propose a multi-agent based voting architecture for evaluation of the suitability of voting rules. The design of the voting architecture is informed by the requirements from two applications we intend to study. The J-MADeM architecture is adapted for the development of our architecture. We describe the voting theory model we intend to incorporate in the architecture, the initial applications we plan to investigate and the features of the voting architecture. Furthermore, we outline the first simulation we intend to conduct using the voting architecture, focusing on the aspect of iterative winner determination for the committee voting rules Minisum and Minimax Approval.
