Hybrid Neuro-Fuzzy Technique for Automated Traffic Incident Detection

This paper proposes a novel technique for automatic incident detection on highways using a hybrid neuro-fuzzy system. The proposed neuro-fuzzy system employs a self rule generating algorithm that organizes the training data into clusters and automatically learns the fuzzy rules. Modified linear least squares regression models are employed for training of parameters. Real I-880 freeway traffic data is used to test the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm. The results obtained show high potential for the application of this neuro-fuzzy system to automated traffic incident detection.
