    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method for managing traffic congestion in a smart city. The method includes predicting, based on a trained traffic state prediction model, one or more target areas where the traffic congestion is likely to occur from the preset area during a next time period by processing the traffic data information during the current time period, the traffic state prediction model being a Graph Neural Network (GNN) model and a predicted result being output by at least one node of a traffic state prediction model; determining whether a traffic scheduling strategy is needed to be switched based on traffic data information in the one or more target areas during the next time period; and in response to determining that the traffic scheduling strategy is needed to be switched, switching a first traffic scheduling strategy to a second traffic scheduling strategy.

    Abstract: The information distribution device includes a communication unit that communicates with a navigation device that notifies a user of traffic congestion information, probe data obtained from one or more probe vehicles that move on a road including at least two lanes having a common traveling direction, and store data related to a store facing a specific lane that is one of the at least two lanes, and a control unit that, when detecting a traffic congestion due to a waiting for entry into the store on a specific lane, distributes information indicating that the traffic congestion is occurring and that the traffic congestion is caused by a waiting for entry into the store, as traffic congestion information, to the navigation device via the communication unit.

    Abstract: A system, a method, and a computer program product may be provided for generating traffic congestion data for a road in a region. The system may include a memory configured to store computer executable instructions and a processor configured to execute the computer executable instructions to obtain probe data and map data. The processor may be further configured to generate traffic condition data for the road. The processor may be further configured to determine speed changes data associated with one or more vehicles. The processor may be further configured to calculate congestion length, time period, congestion speed for the one or more vehicles to reach a non-congestion state from a congestion state. The processor may be further configured to generate the traffic congestion data, based on the speed changes data, congestion length, a time period and congestion speed associated with the one or more vehicles on the road.

    Abstract: A vehicle on-board unit for a host vehicle comprises a communication system and an electronic controller. The communication system is programmed to electronically receive travel information from one or more preceding vehicles that are traveling ahead of the host vehicle in a lane. The electronic controller includes a vehicle path determination component programmed to determine a travel path of the host vehicle in the lane in which the host vehicle is currently traveling. The electronic controller further includes a target vehicle speed determination component programmed to determine a target vehicle speed for the host vehicle based on the travel information received from the one or more preceding vehicles. The travel information includes traveling speed of a predetermined group of preceding vehicles.

    Abstract: Provided is an intersection deadlock identification method for a mixed flow of autonomous vehicles. This method considers the reality that the intersection traffic flow is composed of human driven vehicles and connected autonomous vehicles. Firstly, the two-dimensional coordinates, speed and front wheel steering angle information of all vehicles in the intersection are obtained, and the blockage graph of vehicles is constructed on the assumption that the front wheel steering angles of all vehicles are fixed. If there is no ring structure in the blockage graph, there is no deadlock; if there is a ring structure, the evasion distance propagation algorithm is used to calculate the evasion requirement distance of a vehicle in the ring. When the evasion requirement distance is greater than the permitted travelling distance of the vehicle itself, a weak traffic deadlock exists.
