• Authors: Sepehr Sabour, Sanjeev Rao and Majid Ghaderi
• Abstract summary: We develop a traffic anomaly detection system, referred to as DeepFlow, based on Siamese neural networks. Our model can detect abnormal traffic flows by analyzing the trajectory data collected from the vehicles in a fleet. Our results show that DeepFlow detects abnormal traffic patterns with an F1 score of 78%, while outperforming other existing approaches.

• Abstract: Nowadays, many cities are equipped with surveillance systems and traffic control centers to monitor vehicular traffic for road safety and efficiency. The monitoring process is mostly done manually which is inefficient and expensive. In recent years, several data-driven solutions have been proposed in the literature to automatically analyze traffic flow data using machine learning techniques. However, existing solutions require large and comprehensive datasets for training which are not readily available, thus limiting their application. In this paper, we develop a traffic anomaly detection system, referred to as DeepFlow, based on Siamese neural networks, which are suitable in scenarios where only small datasets are available for training. Our model can detect abnormal traffic flows by analyzing the trajectory data collected from the vehicles in a fleet. To evaluate DeepFlow, we use realistic vehicular traffic simulations in SUMO. Our results show that DeepFlow detects abnormal traffic patterns with an F1 score of 78%, while outperforming other existing approaches including: Dynamic Time Warping (DTW), Global Alignment Kernels (GAK), and iForest.

  We propose a kernel rotation re-parametrization scheme that transforms a standard isotropic GP kernel into an anisotropic kernel. We also extend our approach to a multi-output GP, which allows for simultaneously estimating the traffic state for multiple lanes. Considering current and future mixed traffic of connected vehicles (CVs) and human-driven vehicles (HVs), we experiment with the traffic state estimation (TSE) scheme from 5% to 50% available trajectories.
