Advanced Traffic Framework for Managing Congestion

Abstract

The most important challenge for any traffic system is to address traffic congestion and reduce it as much as possible. This process is complicated even for smart systems, as it requires the integration between many solutions, technologies, and services because a single solution cannot effectively address this issue. In this paper, we present a framework to support cooperation of many solutions, technologies, tools, and services in the traffic domain. To achieve this, the different service providers must be enabled to contribute to providing solutions, support services, and cooperate to obtain better quality, performance, availability, and greater flexibility in the available options. Therefore, we have added a new module that is responsible for supporting interoperability between devices and different heterogeneous services. We also added a special privacy protection component which is also a challenge that limits the ability to collaborate and share data between different apps and services. Finally, we discuss the benefits of the advanced traffic framework, with a case study that proves its importance.
