Application for diminishing or avoiding the unwanted effects of traffic congestion
First Claim
1. Application to solve respectively to avoid the unwanted side effects of traffic congestion such has increased use of fuel, pollution emission, increase of accidents, driving stress, national economic losses and unfavourable relationship between drivers and traffic authorities. Main target is to interchange the “
- stop and go”
driving behaviour with a “
stop and wait, then go later without stopping”
driving behaviour.

Abstract
Traffic congestion occur mainly through lack of consideration for the driver from the traffic authorities.
At present the existing process to diminish or avoid traffic jams by diverting the traffic to less congested roads proves to be absolutely ineffective. Main reason is the lack of alternative routes, for example at border crossings, on motorways or construction sites for repairing purposes.
The presented application'"'"'s main priority is to avoid the “stop and go” driving behaviour. Highest fuel consumption and concentrated gas emissions are the negative effects of such behaviour.
If the complete amount of vehicles involved in the traffic congestion are gradually held back in sections, it allows the effective liberation of the so called critical area. This area only gets congested due to the growing traffic concentration and will effectively be liberated with the explained application. Unwanted side effects of a traffic congestion, such has increased use of fuel, pollution emission, increase of accidents, driving stress, national economic losses and unfavourable relationship between drivers and traffic authorities can be avoided or at least be reduced considerably.
Additionally a substantial reduction of congestion time as well as amount of involved vehicles can be expected.
