Traffic Routing in Urban Environments: The Impact of Partial Information
There are many studies concerning the problem of traffic congestion in cities. One of the best accepted solutions to relieving congestion involves optimization of resources already available, by means of balancing traffic flows to minimize travel delays. To achieve this optimization, it is necessary to collect and process Floating Car Data (FCD) from vehicles. In this paper the authors evaluate the repercussions of partial information on the overall traffic view, and consequently on the outcome of the optimization. The authors study focuses on the role of the user participation rate and the availability of Road Side Units to collect the FCD. By means of simulation the authors quantify the impact of partially-available information on the computation of route optimization, and how it impedes traffic flows. The authors results show that even minor uncertainties can significantly impact routing strategies and lead to deterioration in the overall traffic situation.
