Traffic jam is a common contemporary society issue in urban areas. City-wide traffic modeling, visualization, analysis, and prediction are still challenges in this context. Based on Bing Maps information, this work aims to acquire, aggregate, analyze, visualize, and predict traffic jam. Chicago area was evaluated as case study. The flow intensity (free or congested) was analyzed to allow the identification of phase transitions (shocks in the system). Also, a prediction model was developed based on logistic regression to correct discovery future flow intensities for a target street.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
