Abstract

Accurate traffic congestion detection methods are needed urgently to improve road traffic pressure and congestion, especially in metropolitan areas. This paper proposes TraD-VANET, a new road traffic detection system that employs RFID-based active vehicle positioning and vehicular ad-hoc networks (VANETs) to detect traffic congestion dynamically. The results can be used to making road traffic flow more fluent and effective. To validate the performance of TraD-VANET, we ran a simulation compared with cooperative traffic congestion detection (CoTEC). The simulation results shown that TraD-VANET has a good performance.
