English Abstract

Road congestion results in a huge waste of time and productivity for millions of people.

Selecting the optimal path for vehicles, based on the real-time traffic information, is a possible way to deal with this problem, which, in turn, can help drivers decide to route around congested areas.

Several studies have been proposed in this field using the intelligent transport system technology (ITS).

ITS describe technology applied to vehicles as well as infrastructure to transfer information between them for improving safety, productivity and minimizing traffic congestion.

Information can be gathered by relying on transceivers placed at each vehicle and road side units (RSUs) placed at specific road locations to gather vehicles data which will include their location, speed, destination and travel time.

Although this technology has been widely exploited, existing studies have never addressed the issue of multi-destinations trip.

For this reason, in this work, we propose a Multi-Destination trip Planning Protocol (MDPP).

Drivers intend to visit more than one destination at the same trip is a common scene over the road network.

We aim to advice these drivers by considering the location of each destination in the trip and the real-time traffic information of the road network.

MDPP will recommend the best sequence of visiting the targeted destinations.

MDPP aims mainly to decrease the traveling time, fuel consumptions and gas emissions of each trip.

To evaluate our work and the effectiveness of MDPP, we developed a simulation experiment that has been executed repeatedly 30 times using different traffic scenarios and congestion levels.

Since previous studies have not tackled multi-destinations trip planning, we compared MDPP results with default used common sequences for visiting multiple destinations, they are Closest Destination First sequence and Random Destination First sequence.

The results of the simulation experiment showed that MDPP is outperforming both default common sequences.
