Incident and Anomalies Detection

For the prevention of traffic breakdowns it is necessary to identify disruptions and incidents in traffic flows as early as possible, so as to adopt the appropriate counter measures in time. As no incident is the same, sophisticated concepts are necessary to obtain a comprehensive detection of incidents and anomalies with good detection rates. Disruptions can range from faulty sensors, damaged infrastructure as well as unusual traffic flows, special events or accidents and catastrophes.

ANDATA provides a broad spectrum of ready-made software modules for the automatic detection of disruptions and anomalies in sensor signals, which can be adapted simply and quickly to the relevant operational surroundings and to the special sensors. The available detection methods range from simple threshold values to sophisticated pattern recognition procedures from the field of artificial intelligence, which can independently learn the normal course look of the sensor signal.

The definition and collation of the different descriptions of disruptions occurs in a uniform software environment. This allows expert knowledge about possible signals and disruptions to be collected, continually extended and systematically analysed.
