Intelligent Management of Highways Congestion based SensorNetworks
The main purpose of this paper is to enable congestion prediction
on urban freeways and objectively measure its impact on daily
life. Indeed, cars€™ trafic becomes increasingly difficult and, often
causes traffic jams that can last for hours, because of growing
number of used cars, in addition to the unforeseen events that
may complicate more and more this problem (weather, accidents,
road works ...). This is mainly due to the lack of efficient
management of roads\' congestions. This paper attempts to bring a
technological response to significantly reduce the congestion
problem. Our approach is based on smart sensors which allow
traffic jam detecting and relaying such critical information. Thus,
while providing the drivers with context aware information such
as those related to the highway status before crossing, we enable
them to make decision and select another road avoiding the
congested one and reducing, by the way, the congestion itself.
