Abstract

Traffic behavior analysis based on moving object trajectories is a basic technique for intelligent transportation system (ITS) applications like traffic control. In this chapter, we firstly propose a new model for objects moving on dynamic transportation networks (MODTN). In the MODTN system, moving objects are modeled as moving graph points that move only within predefined transportation networks. To express general events of the system, such as traffic jams, temporary constructions, and insertion and deletion of junctions or routes, the underlying transportation networks are modeled as dynamic graphs so that the state and the topology of the graph system at any time instant can be tracked and queried. Based on this model, we secondly introduce a real-time traffic flow statistical analysis method called NMOD-TFSA. By analyzing the spatio-temporal trajectories of moving objects, NMOD-TFSA can get the real-time traffic parameter values of the transportation network.
