Abstract
Traffic jam patterns can be identified and, based on historical traffic data, pre-traffic jam patterns that are likely to result in the traffic jam patterns can be identified as well. Real-time traffic data regarding a driving road of a community can be received and analyzed to determine whether the real-time traffic data match with a pre-traffic jam pattern. If the data matches a pre-traffic jam pattern, an alerting signal for predicting a traffic jam can be transmitted.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method, comprising:
- receiving, by a processing unit, real-time traffic data regarding a driving road of a community;
- determining, by the processing unit, whether the real-time traffic data match a pre-traffic jam pattern;
- and
- responsive to the real-time traffic data being matched with the pre-traffic jam pattern, transmitting, by the processing unit, an alerting signal for predicting a traffic jam.
A computer-implemented method, comprising:
- receiving, by a processing unit, historical traffic data regarding a driving road of a community;
- identifying, by the processing unit, a traffic jam pattern from the received historical traffic data;
- and
- responsive to the traffic jam pattern being identified, identifying, by the processing unit, a pre-traffic jam pattern with a likelihood of leading to the traffic jam pattern.
A computer program product, comprising:
- a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions being executable by a computer to cause the computer to perform a method comprising:
- receiving real-time traffic data regarding a driving road of a community;
- determining whether the real-time traffic data match a pre-traffic jam pattern;
- and
- responsive to the real-time traffic data being matched with the pre-traffic jam pattern, transmitting an alerting signal for predicting a traffic jam.
