Abstract(in English) In this paper, we propose a method to aggregate and propagate congestion information on roads using inter-vehicle communication, aiming at alleviating traffic jam by sharing information between cars equipped with navigation systems. In the proposed method, we divide the target area on the map into sub-areas so that statistic information on each sub-area such as average and maximum time to pass the area is aggregated and calculated by inter-vehicle communication. In order to allow each car to efficiently obtain congestion information of sub-areas through which the car is going to pass, the proposed method makes each car to aggregate demand information for each sub-area by inter-vehicle communication. Based on the aggregated demand information, the information on the sub-areas with higher demand are propagated at higher probability toward the cars which are willing to obtain the information. We have implemented part of the proposed method, and conducted simulations using NETSTREAM. As a result, we confirmed that the proposed method is useful enough for practical use.
