ABSTRACT


Traffic incident detection is an essentialpart of the intelligenttransportation systemand attracts lots of attention from researchers in different areas. To reduce the computation and to avoid overfitting of the traditional feed-forward neural network, an extreme machine learning is implemented to detect traffic incidents. Using the real-world data, the proposed model is compared with feed-forward neural network and other two commonly used models by several evaluation criteria. The results indicate the proposed model has the highest accuracy, detection rate and lowest false alarm rate. Moreover, it consumes less time. In conclusion, the performance of the proposed model is better than other benchmark models and suit to detect traffic incidents.


Keywords: Intelligent Transportation System, Extreme Machine Learning, Feed-forward Neural Network, Performance
