Route Choice Strategy in Traffic Network and Routing Strategy in Communication Network

Bo-Kui Chen, Ya-Chun Gao and Wen-Ting Li

Both traffic networks and communication networks play increasingly significant roles in our daily life. They have similar function of transportation, thus are associated in the study of route strategies. In this paper, we first introduce the similarities and differences between traffic network and communication network, and then review briefly the study of route choice strategies in traffic networks and routing strategies in communication networks as well as their algorithms. Finally, we conclude that those route choice strategies and corresponding algorithms based on the global traffic information are more valid for traffic networks, while for communication networks, those routing strategies and algorithms based on the local information are more efficient.
