  • Publication number: 20240239354
    Abstract: An information processing system includes a pre-processor that obtains input data; a model processor that obtains output data by inputting the input data to part of a machine learning model, and outputs the output data; and a post-processor which obtains the output data from the model processor, and executes post-processing using the output data. The model processor obtains data indicating a feature as the output data, the data being data output from the part of the machine learning model for the input data and being obtained in the middle of the prediction performed by the data. The post-processor identifies the result of the prediction performed by the machine learning model by inputting the output data to a remaining part of the machine learning model, and executes post-processing on the result of the prediction.

  • Patent number: 8121776
    Abstract: An incident resolution judgment system and method are provided which reduce processing load on a traffic information center included in an incident detection system. When an incident occurs, the traffic information center generates an incident resolution judgment condition, which is used by each vehicle to judge whether the incident is resolved, and transmits the generated incident resolution judgment condition to each vehicle. Each vehicle judges in accordance with its travel history information and the received incident resolution judgment condition whether the incident is resolved. When the incident is judged to be resolved, each vehicle notifies the traffic information center that the incident is resolved. In accordance with incident resolution detection results produced by a plurality of vehicles, the traffic information center forms a final judgment to indicate that the incident is actually resolved and notifies each vehicle of incident resolution.

  • Patent number: 8068973
    Abstract: A traffic information providing system externally acquires traffic information including information relating to the travel time of a link, calculates a travel time for a non-provision link to which no travel time is provided through estimate/complement operation. The estimate/complement operation is carried out with use of travel times, emergencies, travel times of links in the vicinity of the non-provision link, and so on, obtained in the near past. The system stores and statistically processes the externally-acquired traffic information, and also estimates a travel time in the near future. When there is an abnormality in the acquired traffic information, the system deletes the abnormality, regards the information as a non-provision link, calculates a probability distribution of travel times of links, calculates a probability distribution of travel times of the entire route made up of a plurality of links, and also calculates a probability for a specific travel time range.

  • Patent number: 7636630
    Abstract: There is provided a prediction calculation system capable of allowing a numerical traffic information to be predicted in such a manner that day factors and the like are reflected thereon. Even if a day whose combination of the day factors is the same as that of a prediction-target day, i.e., a day with the same instance, does not exist within a time-period during which past traffic information has been accumulated, the prediction calculation unit merges the past traffic information appropriately, thereby predicting traffic information corresponding to the objective combination of the day factors. Concretely, the prediction calculation unit combines some of characteristic quantities of the past traffic information on a day-unit basis, thereby approximately reconstructing and predicting the instance.

  • Patent number: 7577513
    Abstract: In a congestion prediction using measurement data which is acquired by an on-road sensor or a probe car, and which includes none of explicit information about bottleneck points, with respect to time-sequence data on congestion ranges accumulated in the past, data on congestion front-end positions are summarized into plural clusters by the clustering. Representative value in each cluster is assumed as position of each bottleneck. A regression analysis, in which day factors are defined as independent variables, is performed with congestion length from each bottleneck point selected as the target. Here, the day factors refer to factors such as day of the week, national holiday/etc. It then becomes possible to precisely predict a future congestion length.

  • Publication number: 20090082948
    Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a traffic information system that detects an unexpected incident such as a traffic accident or construction work from traffic information about surrounding road links. Historical traffic information is used to perform component analysis for a group of links that are targets of unexpected incident detection, and recovered traffic information for the historical traffic information is determined from computed top bases of the traffic information about the group of links. Difference statistical traffic information is generated from the difference between the historical traffic information and its recovered traffic information. For real-time traffic information, recovered traffic information for the real-time traffic information is determined from the top bases.
