Hybrid neuro-fuzzy technique for automated traffic incident detection

Abstract

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 neurofuzzy system to automated traffic incident detection. © 2006 IEEE.
