Model traffic congestion events using multi-modal data and attention-based neural networks.
Paper describes a video surveillance system for highway traffic events.
Non-recurring traffic congestion is caused by temporary disruptions, such as accidents, sports games, adverse weather, etc. We use data related to real-time traffic speed, jam factors (a traffic congestion indicator), and events collected over a year from Nashville, TN to train a multi-layered deep neural network. The …
