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."
