Dynamic Vehicular Traffic Load: Definition and Quantification

In this paper, we introduce a method that quantifies the amount of traffic over time by the help of a cloud calculation service and vehicular communication. Furthermore, the approach is applicable also in vehicular traffic simulations, which are widely used in research to demonstrate the effects of proposed solutions to traffic problems. The approach is proven by simulations and application of the load calculation in combination with an intelligent route optimization approach by comparing the...
