-Abstract
Traffic Congestion in Egypt roads is the same problem facing many cities around the world where traffic congestion has a great challenge both on traffic safety and environment population. The solutions that already exist are based on infrastructure equipments used to detect traffic congestion and try to solve this problem such as electronic traffic lights and smart cameras. All the infrastructure systems have the limitations of high deployment costs and limited coverage. This paper aims to the development of traffic congestion detection system by proposing a new vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) congestion detection algorithm. The new algorithm based only on vehicles without any need for additional infrastructure. The proposed algorithm called TCD where each vehicle collects traffic information in the road and exchanges it with other vehicles. According to the information saved by each vehicle, the vehicle analyzes this information and determines the congestion occurrence. When congestion occurs vehicles send warning messages to other vehicles so they can avoid congestion area and change their route. The new algorithm namely (TCD) from simulation results provide more awareness about traffic congestion with less messages exchanged.
