Vehicle Congestion Prevention System

Abstract


There are two inherent issues with centralized vehicle traffic rerouting solutions for congestion relief: scalability because the central server needs to do a lot of real-time computation and communicate with the vehicles; and privacy, as the server requires the drivers to share their location as well as the origins and destinations of their trips. The congestion avoidance system known as Proactive Driver Guidance (PDG) shifts a significant portion of the rerouting computation to the vehicles, making the process more feasible over time. Vehicles use vehicular ADHOC networks to exchange messages for cooperative rerouting decisions. The proactive driver guidance and vehicular congestion avoidance system is a hybrid system because it still relies on Internet communication and a server to obtain an accurate global view of traffic. Additionally, the Proactive Driver Guidance & Vehicle Congestion Avoidance System strikes a balance between user privacy and the efficiency of rerouting. The simulation results show that the planned hybrid system will increase user privacy by 92% on average over a centralized system. The performance of the proactive driver guidance (PDG) and vehicular congestion avoidance system in terms of average travel time is slightly lower than that of the centralized system, but it still achieves significant gains in comparison to the case where there was no rerouting. Additionally, the Proactive Driver Guidance (PDG) and Vehicular Congestion Avoidance system lessens the server's CPU and network load by 95% and 99.99%, respectively.
