• Abstract:
  Freeway congestion is a major problem in many urban areas. It has been estimated that freeway incidents (events that impede the flow of traffic: accidents, disabled vehicles, etc.) account for one-half to three-fourths of the total congestion on metropolitan freeways in the United States. Incident detection is the first and most important stage of incident management. The earlier an incident is detected, the sooner the incident is cleared, and the less delay Tech Report drivers experience. Highway traffic surveillance systems are widely used for incident management, real-time traffic management, traveler information, and hazard evacuation. Of these surveillance methods, some of the most widely used are closed circuit television (CCTV) systems, driver reports processing, highway crew patrols, and automatic incident detection (AID) systems.
