Algorithm design of traffic incident automatic detection based on mobile detection

Most researches of traffic incident auto-detection are based on the data from fixed detectors, which are limited by costs and position. In order to resolve this problem, existing algorithms of traffic incident automatic detection are analyzed and compared, and an algorithm of traffic incident auto-detection are provided based on mobile-detection technology. The traffic data are grouped in 5-min intervals, analyzed by a three-layer BP neural network, and utilized for traffic incident detection. 16 traffic incidents of different locations and different levels are modeled in the simulation experiment based on VISSIM, and detection rate, false alarm rate and average detection time are adopted as indicators to evaluate the algorithm. Finally, the algorithm is proved to be effective and applicable in practice.
