Abstract(in English) With maturation of ubiquitous computing technology, it became feasible to design new systems to improve our urban life. In this paper we introduce a new application to car navigation in a city. Every car navigation system in operation has the current position of the vehicle, the destination, and the currently chosen route to the destination. If vehicles in a city can share those information, they can use traffic information to globally plan semi-optimal routes for each vehicle. We propose a cooperative car navigation system with route information sharing (RIS). Our multiagent simulation confirmed the effectiveness of the proposed RIS system. The average travel time of drivers using the RIS system is substantially shorter than those who do not. Moreover, as the number of the RIS users increases, the total amount of traffic congestion of the city decreases.
