Abstract

Road Traffic Congestion Affects Not Only the Commute Delay but Also a city's overall Social, Economic, and Environmental Growth. Existing Approaches for Road Congestion Mitigation Primarily Adopt a Reactive Approach by Detecting Congestion after It Occurs and Recommending Alternate Routes to the Vehicles, Which Fails to Prevent Congestion Cascading. in Contrast, We Propose a Pervasive Platform Called ProCon that Proactively Infers the Driving Micro-Behaviors that Can Contribute to Congestion Formation and Assist the Drivers in Avoiding Such Maneuvers in Real-Time during the Navigation. Thorough Evaluations over Multiple Real-Life and Simulated Datasets Indicate that ProCon Can Reduce Congestion for More Than 60% of the Scenarios on Average While Significantly Reducing the Travel Time of the Vehicles.
