Over the last years, total number of transporter has increased. High traffic leads to serious problems and finding a sensible solution to solve the traffic problem is a significant challenge. Also, the use of the full capacity of existing streets can help to solve this problem and reduce costs. Instead of using static algorithms, we present a new method, ACO algorithm, combine with fuzzy logic which is a fair solution to improve traffic management in the vehicular ad hoc networks. We have called this the Improved Traffic Management in the Vehicular ad hoc networks (ITMV). Proffer method combines the map segmentation and assign to one server, calculate the instantaneous state of the traffic in roads with use fuzzy logic and distribute traffic for reduce traffic as much as possible by less time priority rather than shorter route. This method collects the vehicles and streets information to calculate the instantaneous state of the vehicle density. The proposed method through simulations were compared with some existing methods and in terms of speed, travel time and reduce air pollution improved by an average of 36.5%, 38%, 29% ,Respectively.
