Title: COMPARATIVE PERFORMANCE EVALUATION OF INCIDENT DETECTION ALGORITHMS
Accession Number: 00625681
Record Type: Component
Availability: Find a library where document is available Abstract: A critical review of the most widely accepted conventional incident detection algorithms is presented. An improved algorithm, employing short-term time averaging to filter the traffic data, is proposed and compared with the best of the existing algorithms. The filtering addresses the problem from false alarms that are due to short-term traffic inhomogeneities. On the basis of data collected from a typical freeway in the Twin Cities metropolitan area, evaluation results suggest that the new algorithm achieves a 30 to 80% false alarm reduction compared with existing algorithms.
