Cybernetic Transportation System (CTS) is a new branch of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS), which is a solution to the urban transportation problem. The coordination of intelligent vehicles is critical for the operation of the Cybernetic Transportation System. We present a distributed coordination approach for the intelligent vehicles of the Cybernetic Transportation System, which is based on an agent-based framework. Each vehicle agent generates intention independently by considering its and other agents' shared status and intentions in the coordination. Typical coordination scenes, including platoon and overtaking, have been demonstrated in the two-lane, two-way traffic situation and the effectiveness of the proposed coordination approach has been validated.
