Popis: The economic and environmental impacts caused by traffic congestion are increasing. Improvements in the cities road infrastructure for minimizing these impacts are pricey and do not happen immediately. Thus, in order to improve vehicular traffic flow in dense urban centers, we present REACT, a traffic management system to minimize vehicle congestion in Smart Cities. REACT is a traffic management system based on Vehicular communication, and it is divided into Request and Response phases. The Request phase allows vehicles to request traffic information from neighbor road segments. The Response supports vehicles to respond to the request with current road traffic information. The performance evaluation shows the ability of our solution to reduce traffic jams with a low communication overhead.
