Algorithm for cooperative management of road traffic emissions in urban areas

The paper presents a solution for reducing road traffic emissions and particulate matter from non-electric (classic) vehicles in cities by sharing cooperative driving information. Vehicles are equipped with dynamics and GPS sensors. Ad-hoc vehicular networking (VANET) is used as media for communication. A specific algorithm is developed to collect anonymous information and suggest to drivers best behavior in traffic. Other types of pollution, such as noise, are not analyzed here.
