  • Real-Time Traffic Incident Detection Using a Probabilistic Topic Model
    Information Systems 54 (2015) 169–188 Contents lists available at ScienceDirect Information Systems journal homepage: www.elsevier.com/locate/infosys Real-time traffic incident detection using a probabilistic topic model Akira Kinoshita a,b,n, Atsuhiro Takasu b, Jun Adachi b a The University of Tokyo, 7-3-1 Hongo, Bunkyo, Tokyo, Japan b National Institute of Informatics, 2-1-2 Hitotsubashi, Chiyoda, Tokyo, Japan article info abstract Article history: Traffic congestion occurs frequently in urban settings, and is not always caused by traffic Received 15 December 2014 incidents. In this paper, we propose a simple method for detecting traffic incidents from Received in revised form probe-car data by identifying unusual events that distinguish incidents from spontaneous 18 May 2015 congestion. First, we introduce a traffic state model based on a probabilistic topic model to Accepted 1 July 2015 describe the traffic states for a variety of roads. Formulas for estimating the model Available online 10 July 2015 parameters are derived, so that the model of usual traffic can be learned using an Keywords: expectation–maximization algorithm. Next, we propose several divergence functions to Anomaly detection evaluate differences between the current and usual traffic states and streaming algorithms Automatic incident detection that detect high-divergence segments in real time. We conducted an experiment with Probabilistic topic model data collected for the entire Shuto Expressway system in Tokyo during 2010 and 2011. The Probe-car data Real-time processing results showed that our method discriminates successfully between anomalous car Traffic state estimation trajectories and the more usual, slowly moving traffic patterns.
