Abstract


Traffic events can be useful to a variety of Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) applications. This work presents a model that can correlate features of multiple data sources with demands from ITS applications interested in consuming traffic events in order to establish the best strategy for extracting them. Once used, the model yields to a list of events, each of them reporting what happened, besides where and when. An instance of the proposed model using two social networks as data sources and four machine learning algorithms was implemented as a case study. The results have shown that it was possible to extract a great part of the expected events, all of them with complete information.
