Abstract : Nowadays on the road, the number of vehicles has been increasing rapidly. The road traffic congestions are posturing severe hitches owing to the inadequate ability of road networks and irregular on-route procedures in most of the towns and ensuing in a substantial number of losses. To address these problems, advanced traffic monitoring methods are being commonly used in major towns. Nevertheless, owing to increasing traffic on roads, additional methods remain desired to avoid traffic bottlenecks. The emergent of vehicle communication technologies, and particularly vehicle to vehicle and vehicle to infrastructure would be of great support. These technologies help in improving the ride duration of the traveller and alleviating the congestion problems in road traffic. The vehicles could communicate with each other and thus the traveller can be alerted about the vehicles around him. Therefore, this paper explores the message passing mechanisms between vehicles that collaboratively determine the optimal speed of the approaching vehicles and other suitable actions to take on to crossroad junctures with least delays but eventually evading stoppings. This exploration helps in achieving a substantial improvement in terms of the reduction in the travellers’ average trip time.
