Abstract
In recent years, Florida State recorded thousands of abnormal traffic flows on highways that were caused by traffic incidents. Highway traffic congestion costed the US economy 101 billion dollars in 2020. Therefore, it is imperative to develop effective real-time traffic flow prediction schemes to mitigate the impact of traffic congestion. In this dissertation, we utilized real-life highway segment-based traffic and incident data obtained from Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) for real-time incident prediction. We used eight years of FDOT real-life traffic and incident data for Florida I-95 highway to build prediction models for traffic accident severity. Accurate severity prediction is beneficial for responders since it allows the emergency center to dispatch the right number of vehicles without wasting additional resources.
