Discovering traffic anomaly propagation enables a thorough understanding of traffic anomalies and dynamics. Existing methods, such as STOTree, are not accurate for two reasons. First, they discover the propagation pattern based on the detected anomalies. The imperfection of the detection method itself may introduce false anomalies and miss the real anomaly. Second, they develop a propagation tree of anomalies by searching continuous spatial and temporal neighborhoods rather than considering from a global perspective, and thus cannot find a complete propagation tree if a spatial or temporal gap exists. In this paper, we propose a novel discovering traffic anomaly propagation method using traffic change peaks, which can visualize the change of traffic anomalies (e.g., congestion and evacuation area) and thus accurately captures traffic anomaly propagation. Inspired by image processing techniques, the GPS trajectory dataset in each time period can be converted to one grid traffic image and be stored in the grid density matrix, in which the grid cell corresponds to the pixel and the density of grid cells corresponds to the Gray level (0–255) of pixels. An adaptive filter is developed to generate traffic change graphs from grid traffic images in consecutive periods, and clustering traffic change peaks along the road is to discover the propagation of traffic anomalies. The effectiveness of the proposed method has been demonstrated using a real-world GPS trajectory dataset.
