Research Profile

  • Employing VANETs Technology To Alleviate Road Congestion In Real Time.

    The aim of this research is to design a novel algorithm for Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) for a city based on VANETs. The algorithm will be capable of estimating the level of congestion and analysis the traffic by collecting road information in real-time, leading to alleviate road congestion and reduce fuel consumption and pollution. In addition, It will deal with Instantaneous accident occasions, road works and roads amendments to provide instant actions list to the Transportation team to reduce congestion in a shorter time, as well as providing suitable alternative routes and conveying these to the relevant vehicles based on Road Side Unit devices.
