Abstract:"This document summarizes the activities concerning the project: Congestion Relief by
Travel Time Minimization in Near Real Time -- Detroit Area I-75 Corridor Study since
the inception of the project (Nov. 22, 2006 through September 30, 2008).
This project was motivated by the premise that congestion due to traffic accidents and
other incidents can be avoided by using computer re-routing models combined with the
analysis of voluminous data collected by intelligent transportation systems (ITS).
Congestion avoidance reduces travel time and fuel consumption as well as the need for
additional roadways and infrastructure, making the transportation system more efficient.
During the same time period as this project, personal travel assistants (PTAs) have
become more and more common. This trend should continue until PTAs are ubiquitous.
These devices are able to both access current commercial traffic data provided by
companies such as traffic.com as well as to determine routes based on this data. Thus,
the problem of routing individual vehicles appears to be solved and commercialized."
