Impact of Real Time Routing: More Traffic
Reader Kevin points out the latest from the Freakonics blog:
Two physicists and a computer scientist used Google maps to study traffic in Boston, London, and New York, and found that when people use real-time driving maps to try to pick the fastest routes, traffic slows down. Their solution: close a few roads so drivers have fewer options.
The citations go back to a Christian Science Monitor article from last year citing a scientific paper (pdf) from August 2008.
The bit of irony for me? I saw Steven D. Levitt, one of the authors of Freakonics speak at the Tele Atlas conference a few years ago!
