Abstract: Highlights•A global algorithm for route choice strategy is proposed for advanced traveler information systems.•This algorithm could provide real-time optimal route guidance information, rather than providing a fixed path.•Compared to the local algorithm, this global algorithm can enhance the capacity and efficiency of traffic networks.•Vehicle distribution is more homogeneous by using this global algorithm.•The average traffic flow increases when information collection time period decreases.
