• Abstract: Automatic detection of traffic accidents has a crucial effect on improving transportation, public safety, and path planning. Many lives can be saved by the consequent decrease in the time between when the accidents occur and when rescue teams are dispatched, and much travelling time can be saved by notifying drivers to select alternative routes. This problem is challenging mainly because of the rareness of accidents and spatial heterogeneity of the environment. This paper studies deep representation of loop detector data using Long-Short Term Memory (LSTM) network for automatic detection of freeway accidents. The LSTM-based framework increases class separability in the encoded feature space while reducing the dimension of data. Our experiments on real accident and loop detector data collected from the Twin Cities Metro freeways of Minnesota demonstrate that deep representation of traffic flow data using LSTM network has the potential to detect freeway accidents in less than 18 minutes with a true positive rate of 0.71 and a false positive rate of 0.25 which outperforms other competing methods in the same arrangement.

  This study uses vehicle trajectory data and traffic incident data on I-10, one of the most crash-prone highways in Louisiana. Various machine learning algorithms are used to detect a trajectory that is likely to face an incident in the downstream road section. Results suggest that the Random Forest model achieves the best performance for predicting an incident with reasonable recall value and discrimination capability.
