	abstract={
	          Traffic congestion and automobile accidents are two
	          of the leading causes of decreased standard of
	          living and lost productivity in urban
	          settings. Recent advances in artificial intelligence
	          and, specifically, intelligent vehicle technology
	          suggest that vehicles driven entirely by autonomous
	          agents will be possible in the near future.  In
	          previous work, we presented a novel
	          reservation-based approach for governing
	          interactions of multiple autonomous vehicles,
	          specifically at intersections.  This approach
	          alleviated many traditional problems associated with
	          intersections, in terms of both safety and
	          efficiency.  However, such a system relies on all
	          vehicles being equipped with the requisite
	          technology --- a restriction that would make
	          implementing such a system in the real world
	          extremely difficult. In this paper, we augment the
	          system such that it is able to accomodate
	          traditional human-operated vehicles using existing
	          infrastructure. Furthermore, we show that as the
	          number of autonomous vehicles on the road increases,
	          traffic delays decrease monotonically toward the
	          levels exhibited in the system involving only
	          autonomous vehicles. Additionally, we demonstrate
	          how the system can be extended to allow
	          high-priority vehicles such as ambulances, police
	          cars, or fire trucks through more quickly without
	          placing undue burden on other vehicles. Both
	          augmentations are fully implemented and tested in
	          our custom simulator, and we present detailed
	          experimental results attesting to their
	          effectiveness.
