Today, we live in an era where pervasive sensor networks both collect and broadcast rich digital footprints about the human mobility. However, most of this data often comes in an incomplete and/or inaccurate fashion. In this paper, we propose a knowledge discovery framework to handle such issues in the context of automatic incident detection systems fed with traffic flow data. This framework operates in three steps: 1) it clusters sensors with a novel multi-criteria distance metric tailored for this purpose, followed by a heuristic rule that labels the abnormal groups; 2) then, a spatial cross-correlation framework identifies seasonal and individual abnormal readings to perform a more fine-grained filtering; and 3) finally, we propose a novel fundamental diagram that discovers the critical density of a given road section/spot on a data-driven fashion that is resistant to both outliers and noise within the input data. Large-scale experiments were conducted over traffic flow data provided by a major Asian highway operator. The obtained results illustrate well the contributions of this framework: it drastically reduces the noise within the raw data, and it also allows determining reliable definitions of traffic states (congestion/no congestion) on a completely automated way.
