	abstract = {The main purpose of this paper is to enable congestion prediction onurban freeways and objectively measure their impact on daily life.Indeed, cars{\textquoteright} movement becomes increasingly difficult and, oftencauses traffic jams that can last for hours, because of growing numberof used cars, in addition to the unforeseen events that may complicatemore and more this problem (weather, accidents, road works ...). Thisis mainly due to the lack of efficient management of roads{\textquoteright}congestions. This paper attempts to bring a technological response tosignificantly reduce the congestion problem. Our approach uses smartsensors which allow traffic jam detecting and relaying such criticalinformation. Thus, while providing the drivers with context awareinformation such as that related to the status of the highway beforecrossing, we enable them to make decision and select another roadavoiding the congested one and reducing, by the way, the congestionitself.},
