Advanced Multi-Source Traffic Data Analytics

Computational frameworks that simultaneously reconstruct missing traffic data and detect anomalous events across multiple urban transportation data sources.

Overview

This research develops sophisticated computational frameworks for analyzing multi-source traffic data in urban transportation networks, addressing the common case where incomplete data collection and anomalous traffic events co-occur — requiring analytical approaches that can handle both simultaneously.

Technical Approach

  • Tensor-based representations capturing multi-dimensional relationships in traffic data across space, time, and measurement source.
  • Large-scale optimization algorithms with convergence guarantees.
  • Data-fusion techniques integrating volume sensors, occupancy detectors, and speed measurements.
  • Pattern recognition to identify normal traffic patterns and flag anomalous events.

Expected Outcomes

Robust computational tools for traffic-data analysis that handle real-world data imperfections, improved incident detection and response, and practical frameworks for transportation authorities and smart-city initiatives.
