  • Description: Since decades, road traffic congestions have been recognized as an escalating problem in many metropolitan areas worldwide. In addition to causing substantial number of casualties and high pollution rates, these congestions are decelerating economic growth by reducing mobility of people and goods as well as increasing the loss of working hours and fuel consumption. In order to deal with this problem, extensive research works have successively focused on predicting road traffic jams and then predicting their propagations. In spite of their relevance, the proposed solutions to traffic jam propagation have been profoundly dependent on historical data. They have not also used their predictions to intelligently allocate traffic control resources accordingly. We, therefore, propose in this paper a new two-stage traffic resource dispatching solution which is ultimately aiming to implement a self-organizing traffic control system based on Internet of Things. Our solution uses in its first phase a Markov Random Field (MRF) to model and predict the spread of traffic congestions over a road network. According to the obtained predictions, the solution uses Markov Decision Process (MDP) to automatically allocate the road traffic resources. Our simulations are showing satisfactory results in terms of efficient intervention ratios compared to other solutions.
