In this research, our aim is to increase the utility of the drivers by reducing traffic congestion. To attain our purpose, we propose a simple route guidance mechanism based on route information sharing (RIS). The drivers using the RIS notify their route to the route information server, and then it returns accumulative information based on their routes to them. As a result of multiagent simulation, we conformed that the travel time of the drivers using the RIS and others decreased as the drivers using the RIS increased.
