DEVELOPMENT AND TESTING OF INCIDENT DETECTION ALGORITHMS, VOLUME 3: USER GUIDELINES
The development and testing of incident detection algorithms was based on Los Angeles and Minneapolis freeway surveillance data. Algorithms considered were based on times series and pattern recognition techniques. Attention was given to the effects of geometrics, sensor configuration and weather, and methods were developed for detecting malfunctioning detectors and for identifying the lane of an incident. This, the third volume, describes procedures for implementing software designed for incident detection and the identification of malfunctioning detectors, provides guidelines for choosing a basic incident detection algorithm and threshold set among the candidates offered, and describes procedures for modifying the basic algorithms to account for sensor configuration, geometrics, and other effects. /FHWA/
