Popis: Congestion control is a widely accepted domain in Intelligent Transportation System. Two approaches are commonly used to address the issue: either by controlling the traffic signals or by re-routing the vehicles in a congested state. However, the objective is to minimize the average travel time of the vehicles in a given road scenario. Choosing shortest path could be a solution. But the vehicles, following the shortest path, may face congestion if the decision is done in an un-coordinated manner. This could be due to non-inclusion of crucial decision parameter(s) and lack of cooperative decision on the decisive parameters of the concerned traffic scenario. There are efforts to include the density of the road segments within decision variables. The novelty of the proposed solution is to address the adaptive nature of the density parameter and considers effectively in the solution proposal. The solution considers the effect of density in a nearby road segment is more than the rare one. The introduction of the adaptive nature of this decision variable models the real road network more accurately and subsequent solution is more effective. Exhaustive experimentation has been done, considering various use cases. The proposed Density Based Coordinated Vehicle Rerouting, coined as “DB-Corouting” algorithm is simulated through “SUMO” and “Open Street Map” and the necessary finding ensures the effectiveness of the proposed solution in terms of selected metrics such as average traveling time, average waiting time, Traffic satisfaction Index etc.. The proposed solution outperforms the comparable solutions in terms of the selected metrics and always offers an efficient solution irrespective of traffic distribution.
