Traffic congestion in the city can be significantly decreased
by implementation methodology proposed in: Ziny Flikop “Routing Optimization in
Packet Switching Communications Networks” European Journal of Operational
Research, 1985. Computer program based of this methodology allowed optimization
of management traffic flows in gigantic construction companies in the previous Soviet
Union.
Proposed methodology can optimize car traffic flows by
minimization of total traveled time with consideration of different traffic
priorities. It uses assumption that car traffic from different input points to
different destinations can be split between alterative routes.
In the initial half-duplex semi-automatic mode, system can dynamically,
by using short time traffic statistical information, split and reroute traffic
depending on time of the day and day of the week. Rerouting can be done by
utilization of predictive algorithms employed for cellular traffic equalization
in the Cellular Network Management System used by NYNEX (today Verizon) corporation
in 1980-90. Drivers can receive driving information via GPS
devices for any desired starting and destination points.
In fully automatic full-duplex mode, system will accept
desired starting and destination information from all individual GPS-like
devises and provide drivers with up to the minute optimal directions.
