Developing a Twitter-based traffic event detection model using deep learning architectures

作者:

Highlights:

• Tweets are mapped into numerical feature vectors using word-embedding models.

• Tweets are classified into non-traffic, traffic incident, and traffic information.

• Classification task is performed using convolutional and recurrent neural networks.

• 51,100 tweets are collected, labeled, and publicly released for future research.

• Models’ superiority is demonstrated through several evaluation steps.
