System for public transit incident rate analysis and display
First Claim
1. An incident management system in a public transit network, comprising:
- a processor; and
a computer readable medium containing a set of programming instructions configured to cause the processor to;
receive public transit system incident data collected by one or more sensors of the public transit network;
cause an electronic display device to segment a display screen into a plurality of cells so that each of the cells corresponds to one of a plurality of route segments and one of a plurality of time segments, so that each cell represents a portion of a route which one or more vehicles of the public transit network traveled over a period of time;
determine, based on the incident data, a cumulative incident rate pertinent to each of the cells;
identify a linear model comprising a set of parameters indicative of effects of one or more route segments and one or more time segments on the cumulative incident rate;
use the linear model and the cumulative incident rate to estimate a future incident rate for each of the cells; and
cause the electronic display device to output a graphical representation for each of the plurality of cells so that the graphical representation is indicative of the estimated future incident rate for the route segment and the time segment to which each cell corresponds.

Abstract
An incident management system in a public transit network receives incident data collected by one or more sensors of the transit network, segments a display screen into multiple cells so that each of the cells corresponds a route segment and a time segment in which one or more vehicles in the transit network traveled, and outputs a graphical representation for each cell. The sensors may be installed on a vehicle to detect various types of incidents such as disturbance, safety and mechanical issues, or any incidents external to the vehicle. The graphical representation may be indicative of the estimated future incident rate for the route segment and the time segment to which each cell corresponds, and displayed by a color scale in a heatmap. The system may estimate the incident rate using a linear model that can be obtained in a training process.

13. A method of managing incidents in a public transit network, comprising:
-
collecting, by one or more sensors in a public transit network, public transit system incident data; receiving, by a processor, public transit system incident data collected by the one or more sensors of the public transit network; causing, by the processor, an electronic display device to segment a display screen into a plurality of cells so that each of the cells corresponds to one of a plurality of route segments and one of a plurality of time segments, so that each cell represents a portion of a route which one or more vehicles of the public transit network traveled over a period of time; determining, by the processor, a cumulative incident rate pertinent to each of the cells based on the incident data; identifying, by the processor, a linear model comprising a set of parameters indicative of effects of one or more route segments and one or more time segments on the cumulative incident rate; by the processor, using the linear model and the cumulative incident rate to estimate a future incident rate for each of the cells; and causing, by the processor, the electronic display device to output a graphical representation for each of the plurality of cells so that the graphical representation is indicative of the estimated future incident rate for the route segment and the time segment to which each cell corresponds. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23)
