Traffic management system

Abstract

In one embodiment, a traffic management system includes an input/output sub-system to receive route search requests from client devices, and a CPU to search a route database for a suitable match for the route search requests yielding routes. The input/output sub-system is operative to receive data related to traffic levels along the routes. The CPU is operative to calculate a score for each route, select N quickest routes, and allocate the N quickest routes among the client devices. A first and second client device are allocated a first and second quickest route from the N quickest routes, respectively, the first and second quickest route having a first and second score, respectively. The second score is different to the first score. The input/output sub-system is operative to send to each client device data about the route allocated to that client device. Related apparatus and methods are also described.
