Abstract: With the recent increase in routing App usage, it is urgent to analyze the impact of inevitable information delay in routing Apps on traffic. To analyze the negative impact of such delayed routing Apps on traffic, this paper investigates the impact of ideal and delayed routing Apps on traffic. Firstly, the effect of ideal routing Apps has been explored with theoretical analysis and derivation based on a macroscopic network model. Then, an extended network model is built to characterize the delayed routing. The impact of such delayed routing Apps is investigated by simulation experiments while considering routing usage proportion and amount of delay. The results demonstrate that ideal navigation does improve traffic efficiency, but in some cases, delayed navigation is even worse than no navigation.

Key words: traffic network, delayed routing, system performance
