Abstract

Road transportation is becoming a major concern in modern cities. The growth of the number of vehicles is provoking an important increment of pollution and greenhouse gas emissions generated by road traffic. In this paper, we present CTPATH, an innovative smart mobility software system that offers efficient paths to drivers in terms of travel time and greenhouse gas emissions. In order to obtain accurate results, CTPATH computes these paths taking into account the layout and habits in the city and real-time road traffic data. It offers customized paths to drivers (including personal profiles) in a distributed and intelligent way so as to consider the whole city situation.

This research was partially funded by the University of Málaga, Andalucía Tech, and the Spanish Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness and FEDER (grant TIN2014-57341-R).
