Intelligent Synthesis and Real-time Response using Massive Streaming of Heterogeneous Data (INSIGHT) and its anticipated effect on Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) in Dublin City, Ireland

Intelligent traffic and transport management involves the use of large data streams to identify and effectively manage issues of congestion and quality of service. In particular, urban traffic has been in the eye of the storm for many years now and gathers increasing interest as cities become bigger, crowded and ‘smart’. This paper examines the likely impact of the work of the EU-funded FP7 INSIGHT programme on traffic incident detection and its amelioration in Dublin city.
