Abstract Nowadays, almost all the metropolises in China are facing severe urban traffic congestion. Some apps (applications) on mobile devices, such as AutoNavi Map and Baidu Map, offer free real-time traveler information and navigation service. More and more travelers are willing to utilize these mobile service to plan and optimize their personal travel activities. However, these apps have a possible influence on the urban traffic management. Although such services as the real-time navigation or traffic diversion may benefit some drivers and help to avoid congested roads, it is difficult to identify its benefits on urban traffic system level. Traffic diversion may alleviate the congestion on some roads but aggravate the traffic condition on the alternative roads. We built a microscopic traffic simulation model with complex system simulation software AnyLogic. Attempts have been made to figure out the drivers’ behavior to traffic diversion and the urban traffic network performance under real-time traffic information. In a word, this study attempts to answer: will the real-time traffic information provided by the apps brings benefits on network level or just benefits limited users? Some findings from this study may provide references for urban traffic service supply.
