ABSTRACT: The paper introduces a novel paradigm to
use ubiquitous computing in urban traffic control as a methodology to include
the benefits of considering physical elements implicated in the environment.
This promising idea arises from previous results in the literature, where
ubiquitous computing achieves significant and promising results in diverse
scenarios. Some works in the state-of- the-art clearly state that traditional
traffic light signals are not capable of offering higher service levels when
they should control the vehicular mobility because of different constraints. In
this sense, the paper proposes an adaptation of the main ideas of ubiquitous
computing as a metaphor to facilitate the interaction between users and traffic
infrastructures in order to improve the users’ experience on the road.
