Solution to A Traffic

There are more than a handful of solutions out there that have been either conducted or suggested over the years. But are they capable of reducing traffic? That is the real question.

A study in Korea stated that there are two types of drivers: optimistic, those who leave little space in-between cars, and defensive, those who leave a more than necessary gap in-between. And that traffic occurs when these two drivers are traveling on the same route. This has been demonstrated by mathematical models and concluded that traffic would clear up only when optimistic drivers are leaving the jam and defensive drivers are arriving.

Undoubtedly, Korean roads are modern and well signposted
What have they come up with? An automated on-board control.
It is a system which could notify drivers of upcoming traffic so they could gradually slow down and increase distance from cars ahead. It would also accelerate the speed of a leaving car more by using automated cruise control. With vehicles cruising faster than they arrive, congestion would dissolve eventually.

The system is based on a medical initiative, Asthmapolis, which has implanted simple and clever tracking system to identify and determine where an inhaler would be used. This helps users in avoiding high-risk zones and detect when the attack will occur. An advance notice.
