Abstract:
1. A method comprising: receiving traffic data from a plurality of data-capture devices; calculating, by a system including a processor, a plurality of traffic-flow velocities, each velocity of the plurality of traffic-flow velocities being associated with a data-capture time and a respective data-capture device of the plurality of data-capture devices; identifying, by the system, a location of a traffic incident on a road network; determining, by the system, whether a traffic-flow velocity associated with a first one of the data-capture devices upstream of the location of the traffic incident is less than an associated threshold velocity; in response to determining that the traffic-flow velocity associated with the first data-capture device is less than the associated threshold velocity, iteratively performing until a specified condition is satisfied: identifying, by the system based on the determining tasks, a boundary of a region affected by the traffic incident.
