Abstract
Disclosed herein are systems and methods for identifying and ranking traffic bottlenecks. An example of such methods may include operating at least one processor to: receive traffic data associated with a road network comprising a plurality of road segments, the traffic data comprising vehicle speed data collected from a plurality of vehicles operating within the road network; determine a benchmark speed for each of the plurality of road segments; determine, for each of the plurality of road segments, whether a traffic disruption is present by comparing the benchmark speed thereof to vehicle speed data collected from at least one vehicle operating therealong; determine, for each of the plurality of road segments having the traffic disruption therealong, one or more road segment metrics associated therewith; identify a traffic bottleneck by aggregating a plurality of adjacent road segments having traffic disruptions therealong and the one or more road segment metrics associated therewith; and rank each traffic bottleneck based on one or more aggregated road segment metrics associated therewith.
