Abstract
The applications of genetic algorithm (GA) and probabilistic
neural network (PNN) in the development of expressway
automated incident detection (AID) models are presented. To
date, AID model development is impeded by insufficient
training data, and lack of model adaptability when site
condition changes. This paper investigates these two
problems in the development framework, and proposes
solutions based on artificial intelligence techniques. For the
first problem, GA is used to calibrate the system parameters
of a traffic simulation model against real traffic data. The
method of using the calibrated model to simulate incident
database is also presented. In the second problem, the site
adaptation potential of an AID model that has been developed
based on PNN network is investigated. A set of network
adaptation procedures is proposed to improve the model
performance when the trained PNN is transferred to a new
site that has a different traffic condition. The skeleton of this
study could serve as the basis for developing an adaptive AID
model for future real-time applications.
