A General Model of Vehicle Routing Guidance Systems based on Distributive Learning Scheme

Abstract

Dynamic traffic assignment and vehicle route guidance have been important problems in ITS for some time. This paper proposes a new model for VRGS, which takes into consideration of the information propagation, user selection and information reaction. Parameter p is then defined as the updating weight for computing cost of traffic based on a distributive learning scheme. p is calculated through a function which denotes information propagation over time and space and the function needs further optimization. Comparison to static traffic assignment, DTA and feasible strategies are given, and future work is also stated.
