Built a traffic control system with Hermes Agent using NVIDIA Cosmos 3 and blockchain using Alpenglow Solana protocol. Hermes Agent monitors fleet state and sends control notifications.
How it works:
Cars stop at an intersection, must get distributed consensus on Solana protocol, then must receive a token, ordered by consensus resolution time, not arrival order before crossing.
It simulates a 3×3 city grid. Cosmos 3 video language model (VLM) generates maneuver intents per car or what to do (straight, turn, merge) and how urgently (physics deadline), from text scene descriptions like "dashcam view of a 4-way urban intersection at night, heavy rain…" and returns structured JSON.
Alpenglow consensus protocol runs parameterized gossip and voting rounds among all cars approaching an intersection to agree on crossing order. Each intent becomes a transaction that must finalize before the car can proceed.
Every car stops at stop sign lines, waits for distributed agreement to finalize, then gets a token in FIFO order by resolution time. The coordination pipeline: Cosmos intent, Alpenglow protocol consensus, get intersection token.
A car can't cross until both the intent is generated and consensus has settled. If consensus latency exceeds the physics deadline, the intent "misses" and the car must resolve a safety override.
