Distributed Classification of Urban Congestion Using VANET

Vehicular Ad-hoc NETworks (VANET) can efficiently detect traffic congestion, but detection is not enough because congestion can be further classified as recurrent and non-recurrent congestion (NRC). In particular, NRC in an urban network is mainly caused by incidents, workzones, special events and adverse weather. We propose a framework for the real-time distributed classification of congestion into its components on a heterogeneous urban road...
