Pattern retrieval of traffic congestion using graph-based associations of traffic domain-specific features
The fast-growing amount of traffic data brings many opportunities for revealing more insightful information about traffic dynamics. However, it also demands an effective database management system in which information retrieval is arguably an important feature. The ability to locate similar patterns in big datasets potentially paves the way for further valuable analyses in traffic management. This paper proposes a content-based retrieval system for spatiotemporal patterns of highway traffic congestion. There are two main components in our framework, namely pattern representation and similarity measurement. To effectively interpret retrieval outcomes, the paper proposes a graph-based approach (relation-graph) for the former component, in which fundamental traffic phenomena are encoded as nodes and their spatiotemporal relationships as edges. In the latter component, the similarities between congestion patterns are customizable with various aspects according to user expectations. We evaluated the proposed framework by applying it to a dataset of hundreds of patterns with various complexities (temporally and spatially). The example queries indicate the effectiveness of the proposed method, i.e. the obtained patterns present similar traffic phenomena as in the given examples. In addition, the success of the proposed approach directly derives a new opportunity for semantic retrieval, in which expected patterns are described by adopting the relation-graph notion to associate fundamental traffic phenomena.
