Abstract IoT (Internet-of-Things) powered devices can be exploited to connect vehicles to a smart city infrastructure and thus allow vehicles to share their intentions while retrieving contextual information about diverse aspects of urban viability. Such a complex system is aimed at improving our way of living in the city by mitigating the effect of traffic congestion, and consequently stress and pollution. We place ourselves in a transient scenario in which next generation vehicles that are able to communicate with the surrounding infrastructure coexist with traditional vehicles with limited or absent IoT-capabilities. In this work we focus on intersection management and, in particular, on reusing existing traffic lights empowered by a new management systems. We propose an auction based system in which traffic lights are able to exchange contextual information with vehicles and the nearby traffic lights with the aim of reducing average waiting times at intersections and consequently, overall trip times. We evaluate our proposal using the well known MATSim transport simulator, by using a synthetic Manhattan map and a new map we build on an urban area located in our town, in Norther Italy. In such an area, instrumentation through IoT devices has been set up as part of an European research project. Results show that the proposal is better performing than the classical Fixed Time Control system currently adopted for traffic lights, and then auction strategies that do not exploit coordination among nearby traffic lights. © 2023 ACM.
