Definition

A combination of navigation services is currently being used to find the most optimal route that minimizes travel time on road networks. For example, online maps (e.g., Google Maps, Bing Maps) help us to determine the fastest path ahead of our journey. In-car GPS navigation and smartphone applications (e.g., Waze) calculate our path and update it during the drive using real-time traffic information. Our research shows that all these services have two main shortcomings in finding the optimal path. First, online map applications offer paths based on a snapshot of traffic that displays the best path if all conditions remain constant during the entire trip duration. Those that integrate real-time traffic, such as in-car GPS navigation systems and smartphone applications, can divert drivers based on unexpected congestion but with the same...

Notes

  1. 1.

    The paths and their optimality are computed and verified by using edge travel times generated based on the 3 years of historical traffic sensor data collected from Los Angeles road network.
