Application of LVQ neural network in traffic incident detection

A novel method is proposed for traffic incidents detection based on LVQ neural network.The features of flow and oc-cupancy rate are extracted from traffic incidents.Then LVQ neural network is used to classify the traffic incidents.LVQ has a simple network structure,but it is very effective and robust in traffic incidents detection.In order to improve the precision of the LVQ neural network for traffic incidents detection,Boosting algorithm is used to build an integration-neural network.Finally the simulation with Matlab shows the algorithm can get better performance.
