About

Dave de Jonge is a researcher whose work lies at the intersection of artificial intelligence, multi-agent systems, and autonomous vehicle coordination. He is best known for developing the Virtual Roundabout Protocol, a decentralized, traffic-light-free approach for managing autonomous vehicle intersections. This protocol, introduced in his 2018 paper, has garnered 11 citations and represents a significant contribution to the field of intelligent transportation systems, offering a scalable and efficient alternative to traditional traffic management. De Jonge’s research focuses on designing algorithms that enable autonomous agents—whether vehicles or software entities—to negotiate and cooperate in real-time, ensuring safety and optimizing traffic flow. Beyond this flagship work, he has explored topics in automated negotiation, game theory, and the application of AI to real-world coordination problems. His contributions are notable for bridging theoretical multi-agent frameworks with practical engineering challenges, making his work highly relevant for students and researchers interested in the future of autonomous systems and smart infrastructure.
