In this paper, we evaluate how to provide or control traffic information based on an anticipatory stigmergy. Managing traffic congestion is one of the main issues for smart cities, and many works have been trying to address it from the IT and transportation research perspectives. Recently, dynamic coordination methods are becoming possible using the more short-term traffic information that can be gathered by probe-vehicles or smart phones. Some approaches have been trying to handle short-term traffic information in which a stigmergy-based approach is employed as an indirect communication method for cooperation among distributed agents and for managing traffic congestion. One drawback of these approaches is that handling near-future congestion remains problematic because stigmergies are basically past information. Therefore we propose anticipatory stigmergy for sharing information on near-future location and allocating drivers adequately. All vehicles submit their near-future intention as anticipatory stigmergy to search their routes. Our preliminary results demonstrate that anticipatory stigmergy with assignment strategy works well.
