This paper approaches the evaluation of intelligent agents for the reduction and avoidance of spontaneous traffic jams, which arise without evident reason. Individual vehicles are regarded as intelligent agents that act autonomously. The basis of this work is the Nagel-Schreckenberg (NaSch) model. Its extensions by the velocity-dependent randomization (VDR) model and multiple lanes allow us to simulate realistic traffic and congestion situations on two-lane motorways. Our concept is applied to the model and analyzed by fundamental diagrams and the average velocity, for example. The results of this paper reveal that traffic congestions are avoided when using swarm intelligence in all vehicles since human behavior, especially misbehavior, is eliminated and the velocities determined by the intelligent vehicle are directly realized. Moreover, an amount of 30% of intelligent vehicles has a significantly positive impact on traffic flow.
