Abstract

Intelligent Transport Systems (ITSs) and traffic management are two of the many approaches that can improve traffic efficiency, reduce traffic con-gestion and pollution, and enhance safety. Through managing traffic flows in ur-ban transport networks, ITSs can provide a response to the today's major chal-lenges regarding the minimization of traffic congestion and its negative effects on the environment. In this research, a model of an Integrated Intelligent Decision Support System (IIDSS) for environmental traffic management in urban areas is presented. The proposed model consists of three operational layers: wireless sen-sor network layer, intelligent agent layer, and routing coordinator, while using information about traffic congestion and pollution in the decision-making pro-cess. The main objective of the proposed model is to provide a solid basis for future development of IIDSS and its implementation in urban networks that cor-respond to city areas that exhibit significant congestion and pollution problems. The system will enable travelers to move around the central city areas avoiding congested and polluted roads.
