Abstract
Locations for traffic sensors can be determined by a computer system that identifies a particular segment of a travel path. Traffic flow data from other segments of travel path are accessed based on traffic flow characteristics of the particular path. Using the traffic flow data, parameters for a traffic incident symptom propagation model are generated, and a location of a traffic incident along the segment of the path is determined. Using time-to-detection limits and the incident model, upstream and downstream distances are determined, and the locations of two sensors are identified based on the distances.
