Abstract

Large scale routing strategies require many data, and high computational power if the basic information unit is small. This paper checks the effects of a routing strategy based on aggregated information, the average speed, of a subnetwork. In a grid-network this routing is compared with shortest-distance routing, and data-demanding shortest-time routing. Contrary to the fixed routing, the proposed average-speed routing algorithm can avoid congestion quite long time, and it still needs very few data. Furthermore, it is less sensitive to fluctuations than the control based on speeds on all links. This is a good starting point for further control based on the macroscopic fundamental diagram.
