Heimdall Roadcast: Road Traffic Observation and Forecasting

An alternative method of forecasting traffic conditions explored in a PHD research project with Southampton University, sponsored by Siemens. Could Congestion be predicted using a machine learning approach that fused data from traffic detectors and selected contextual sources? This research programme developed a machine learning algorithm called Roadcast which has been found to be more accurate that historical average predictors by being able to learn the effects of different contexts (events, roadwork's etc.) on t...
