Solving traffic congestion using vehicle grouping |
摘要 |
A method, system, and computer program product for solving a traffic congestion problem are provided in the illustrative embodiments. Using an application executing using a processor and a memory in a data processing system, a congested route section is selected from a set of congested route sections. A set of congesting vehicles is selected, where the set of congesting vehicles cause congestion in the selected congested route sections by being positioned on the selected congested route section. A vacancy data structure corresponding to the selected congested route section is populated. A subset of the set of the congesting vehicles is selected. The subset of the set of the congesting vehicles is rerouted to a candidate route section identified in the vacancy data structure. |

1. A data processing system for solving a traffic congestion problem, the data processing system comprising:
a storage device, wherein the storage device stores computer usable program code; and a processor, wherein the processor executes the computer usable program code, and wherein the computer usable program code comprises: computer usable code for selecting, using an application executing using a processor and a memory in a data processing system, a congested route section from a set of congested route sections; computer usable code for selecting a set of congesting vehicles, wherein the set of congesting vehicles causes congestion in the selected congested route sections by being positioned on the selected congested route section; computer usable code for populating a vacancy data structure corresponding to the selected congested route section, wherein the vacancy data structure stores information about available capacities of a set of candidate route sections, a candidate route section being a route section with available capacity to accommodate a congesting vehicle from the set of congesting vehicles, wherein the information is indexed in the vacancy data structure by a distance between a candidate route section in the set of candidate route sections and the selected congested route section; computer usable code for selecting a subset of the set of the congesting vehicles; and computer usable code for rerouting the subset of the set of the congesting vehicles to a candidate route section from in the vacancy data structure. |
