[Routing] Introducing "noise" when routing

Hi,

    prompted by the recent "rat run" discussion I thought about a  
future where every vehicle is controlled by satnav. The way these  
devices currently work, this would lead to all vehicles using the  
same roads thus causing congestion. Routing systems should really  
have a "noise" option where they will randomly select routes that are  
up to 1% (2%? 5%?) longer than the best route found. This would lead  
to better throughput especially in city areas.

Bye
Frederik
