This thesis addresses the problem of ensuring safe movements in distributed
dynamic systems where multiple agents move along a shared one-dimensional
axis. Unlike most existing approaches that rely on external sensors or
centralized coordination, our protocol enables safe coordination solely
through local communication between neighboring agents. We present the
design of the protocol, its implementation in a simulated environment,
and validation across a range of scenarios. The results demonstrate that
the protocol guarantees safety even under unreliable communication
conditions, while remaining efficient under normal circumstances.
This work represents a first step towards the practical deployment of such
methods for controlling one-dimensional multi-agent systems.
