A data-driven framework for traffic incident duration prediction

Traffic incidents pose significant challenges to the efficient flow of transportation systems, causing congestion, delays, and potential safety hazards. This research aims to utilize several data sources, including probe vehicle data, to predict traffic recovery time and analyze the impact of each traffic duration component on traffic recovery time in the State of Maryland. The results derived from the traffic recovery time prediction models can be a valuable tool for decision-makers in planning alternative routes, adjusting signal timings, or providing real-time traffic information to drivers.
