Abstract

An increase of vehicles in a city without an efficient infrastructure of traffic management can cause damages not only financial but also environmental and social. In order to support urban traffic system to relieve the traffic congestion and the damage caused by congestion of vehicles, in this paper, we propose a mechanism for Intelligent Transport Systems named FOg RoutE VEhiculaR (FOREVER), in order to assist the traffic management in Vehicular Networks (VANET). For achieving this, FOREVER will detect and recommend an alternative route for the vehicles to avoid previous congestion. FOREVER is based on FOG computing paradigm that aims of to compute and modify the route of the vehicle to avoid the formation of congestion. Thus, the results show that FOREVER had a reduction about 7.9% of the CO2 emissions, 8.3% the stop time and 7.6% of the trip time. (AU)
