Intention Broadcasting Networks

A novel approach to multi-agent coordination using real-time intention broadcasting and collective path optimization through mesh network communication. The system handles different priority levels (emergency, medical, express, standard, flexible) and generates adaptive emergency routes for conflict resolution.

Challenge

Design a system that enables multiple agents to coordinate their movements efficiently while managing different priority levels, handling dynamic environments, and maintaining reliable communication, all while preventing conflicts and ensuring emergency response capabilities.

Solution

Created a mesh network where agents broadcast their intended paths, confidence levels, and emergency alternatives, enabling collective path optimization and dynamic rerouting based on shared information. The system includes priority-based conflict resolution and real-time emergency route generation.

Implementation

  • Developed dynamic intention broadcasting protocol with priority levels
  • Implemented confidence-based path evaluation and risk assessment
  • Created mesh network with KD-tree-based neighbor detection
  • Built priority-based conflict resolution system
  • Integrated emergency route generation with multiple alternatives
  • Developed comprehensive metrics and visualization system
