- Developing a Novel Pattern Mining Model to Discover Hidden Patterns in Fukushima Traffic Congestion Big Data
- - Japan Road Transportation Information Center (JARTIC) has set up the sensor network to monitor traffic congestion in Fukushima.
- Each road-segment in this network generates data at every 5-minute interval.
- Previous year, we have developed a data warehouse technology that generates data frames at 10 times faster than the state-of-the-art.
- This year, we plan to develop a novel pattern algorithm to discover hidden patterns. - シラバス詳細

Introduction to Traffic Information Systems: Understanding JARTIC and TCSS
授業内容:We covered the role of the Japan Road Traffic Information Center (JARTIC) and the Traffic Congestion Statistical System (TCSS). We explored how JARTIC collects and distributes traffic information through 133 centers nationwide. The importance of real-time traffic data for road users was highlighted.
