Further, it is believed that real time traffic information dissemination is an efficient way leading towards an optimal traffic management. With traffic information describing the real time traffic conditions, travellers will probably change their routing choice and departure time accordingly.In addition, the effectiveness of the traffic information on traffic management highly depends on quality

available in smart phones such as Iphone, Blackberry and Android phones. All these sources of travel

information such as travel time and traffic conditions at the same time through the same medium. |
