Improving Vehicular Mobility in Urban Traffic Using Ubiquitous Computing

The paper introduces a novel paradigm touse ubiquitous computing in urban traffic control as a methodology to includethe benefits of considering physical elements implicated in the environment.This promising idea arises from previous results in the literature, whereubiquitous computing achieves significant and promising results in diversescenarios. Some works in the state-of- the-art clearly state that traditionaltraffic light signals are not capable of offering higher service levels whenthey should control the vehicular mobility because of different constraints. Inthis sense, the paper proposes an adaptation of the main ideas of ubiquitouscomputing as a metaphor to facilitate the interaction between users and trafficinfrastructures in order to improve the users’ experience on the road.
