Block-Matching Twitter Data for Traffic Event Location
- 1 Florida Institute of Technology, United States
Abstract
We used a block-matching approach that is data-driven and relies mostly on patterns of tagged speech in Twitter streams as a way to identify events in road traffic. Events are useful because their location may identify the status of road segments, especially when cross-street data are available. Basing a system on patterns that are not pre-defined has the advantage of flexibility for a variety of scenarios.
