Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A computer-implemented method for assessing traffic status with sensors is provided. The method includes receiving sensor readings from a plurality of mobile sensors for detecting a traffic parameter and obtaining traffic information associated with the received sensor readings. The method also includes identifying a change in traffic based on the obtained traffic information and the received sensor reading, and determining whether a traffic incident has occurred based on the identified change. Systems and machine-readable media are also provided.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A computer-implemented method for assessing traffic incidents with sensors, the method comprising: receiving sensor readings from a plurality of mobile sensors for detecting a traffic parameter; obtaining traffic information associated with the received sensor readings; identifying a change in traffic based on the obtained traffic information and the received sensor readings; determining, for each received sensor reading, that the received sensor readi…
