We formalise and study multi-agent timed models MAPTs (Multi-Agent with timed Periodic Tasks), where each agent is associated to a regular timed schema upon which all possibles actions of the agent rely. MAPTs allow for an accelerated semantics and a layered structure of the state space, so that it is possible to explore the latter dynamically and use heuristics to greatly reduce the computation time needed to address reachability problems. We apply MAPTs to explore state spaces of autonomous vehicles and compare it with other approaches in terms of expressivity, abstraction level and computation time.
