Abstract

Traffic flow monitoring is one of the important processes of road traffic managements. With the improvement in information technology systems, many sensors such as traffic detectors and probe vehicles generate large amounts of traffic flow data. Recent spreading of probe vehicles enable us to observe dense and wide-ranging road network. They are expected to include a huge amount of incidents or unusual situations that are usually overlooked.
This study introduces incident detection method which can detect incidents which influence large area in the network. The method is applied to the massive probe vehicle dataset which is collected by about 40000 commercial vehicles all over Japan for one year.
