Existing freeway incident detection algorithms predominantly require extensive off-line training and calibration precluding transferability to new sites. Also, they are insensitive to demand and supply changes in the current site without recalibration. We propose two neural network-based approaches that incorporate an on-line learning capability, thereby ensuring transferability, and adaptability to changes at the current site. The least-squares technique and the error back propagation algorithm are used to develop on-line neural network-trained versions of the popular California algorithm and the more recent McMaster algorithm. Simulated data from the integrated traffic simulation model is used to analyze performance of the neural network-based versions of the California and McMaster algorithms over a broad spectrum of operational scenarios. The results illustrate the superior performance of the neural net implementations in terms of detection rate, false alarm rate, and time to detection. Of implications to current practice, they suggest that just introducing a continuous learning capability to commonly used detection algorithms in practice such as the California algorithm enhances their performance with time in service, allows transferability, and ensures adaptability to changes at the current site. An added advantage of this strategy is that existing traffic measures used (such as volume, occupancy, and so forth.) in those algorithms are sufficient, circumventing the need for new traffic measures, new threshold parameters, and variables that require subjective decisions.
