        abstract={      
                  Traffic congestion is one of the leading causes of
                  lost productivity and decreased standard of living
                  in urban settings.  Recent advances in artificial
                  intelligence suggest vehicle navigation by
                  autonomous agents will be possible in the near
                  future.  In this paper, we propose a
                  reservation-based system for alleviating traffic
                  congestion, specifically at intersections, and under
                  the assumption that the cars are controlled by
                  agents.  First, we describe a custom simulator that
                  we have created to measure the different delays
                  associated with conducting traffic through an
                  intersection.  Second, we specify a precise metric
                  for evaluating the quality of traffic control at an
                  intersection.  Using this simulator and this metric,
                  we show that our reservation-based system can
                  perform two to three hundred times better than
                  traffic lights.  As a result, it can smoothly handle
                  much heavier traffic conditions.  We show that our
                  system very closely approximates an overpass, which
                  is the optimal solution for the problem with which
                  we are dealing.
