In this paper, we propose a model for the transport system based on a Hierarchical Multi Agent System (HMAS). This model can be used in order to design a Decision Support System (DSS) to facilitate the work of the regulator by proposing him various regulation actions in every connection node (SARC2: Systeme d'Aidea la Regulation des Correspondances). An optimal organization of the connections is suggested, in normal or disturbed conditions, to avoid loss of time for the passengers. Our model includes a supervisor agent (interface), a connection agent (decision) for each connection node and an acquisition agent (perception) for each regulation station. In our research, we have used MultiAgent Systems (MAS) which adapt themselves perfectly to the distributed systems as in the urban transport networks.
