Universal incident detection :

Road incidents and incident induced traffic congestions are a big threat to the mobility and safety of our daily life. Timely and accurate incident detection using automated incident detection (AID) systems is essential to effectively tackle incident induced congestion problems and to improve traffic management. The core of an AID system is an incident detection algorithm that interprets real time traffic data and makes decision on incidents. / Literature review of existing AID algorithms and their applications reveals that 1) there is no single freeway algorithm that can fulfil the universality aspect of incident detection which is required by the advanced traffic management systems, and 2) how to achieve the effective and stable arterial road incident detection remains a big issue of AID research. In addition, there exists a strong need for incorporating existing expert traffic knowledge into AID algorithms to enhance incident detection performance. / Thesis (PhDTransportSystemsEngineering)--University of South Australia, 2005.
