Self Directing Transport System

Self Directing Transport System

We propose a hypothesis that states that traffic congestion can be minimized or eliminated if an information system was responsible for directing vehicular traffic in a transport system based on real time data. Such a system would require intensive real time data collection and the distribution of real time navigation information to vehicles which utilise the transport system.
