| Abstract | |
As an important component of Smart Cities, transportation system plays a critical role to address the sustainability and mobility of the society. One key concern is that the number of vehicles continuously increases faster than the available infrastructure, as well as the traffic congestion is a difficult issue to deal with. Several solutions to Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) have been proposed to identify congestion and re-route the vehicles afterwards. In this direction, this work introduces SPARTAN, a fully distributed ITS solution, which notifies drivers about congested areas through Vehicle-to-Vehicle communication and employs a real-time decision making mechanism used to reroute vehicles to avoid the congested areas. Simulation results show the effectiveness of SPARTAN in calculating new routes and disseminating them to vehicles that approaching a congestion area. As a consequence, SPARTAN reduces the travel time and the congestion time in urban scenarios when compared to existing approaches. (AU) | |
