Abstract
Vehicular traffic in urban areas continues to be a constant challenge today, due to the continuous population growth and the increase of vehicles in circulation. Vehicular congestion, as a recurrent problem, generates a negative impact on urban mobility and citizens’ quality of life. It is hypothesized that a dynamic clustering method of vehicle trajectory data can provide an accurate and up-to-date representation of real-time traffic behavior. To evaluate this hypothesis, data were collected from three different cities: San Francisco, Rome and Guayaquil. A dynamic clustering algorithm was applied to identify traffic congestion patterns and an indicator was applied to identify and evaluate the congestion conditions of the areas. The results show a high precision and recall in congestion classification compared to a method based on static cells.
