Abstract

Traffic congestion is a condition where traffic demands exceed traffic capacity. It is a global problem in transportation that occurs around the world especially in metropolitan city. Dynamic traffic routing has been recognized as one of the methods that is capable of dispersing traffic congestions efficiently. This paper reviews the recent implementations of dynamic traffic routing in traffic congestion problems. Study on how the dynamic or online concept has been implemented in traffic routing focusing on definition of dynamic routing, traffic routing environment, traffic routing policy and routing strategy is reviewed in this paper. Some issues such as proactive routing and handling non-recurrent congestion are properly expounded while highlighting some limitations as well as suggestions for future research. As a conclusion, dynamic traffic routing is shown to be an important method in optimizing traffic congestion release. More studies need to be conducted in search of better solution.
