The extracted information is forwarded to a processing module that keeps track of the popularity of the web pages.

The invention relates to a method for detection and prediction of incidents and traffic queues formed by overloading. This is done in real time with use of sensors in a road network. Predictions are used also to reach a faster and more reliable detection. Sensor measurements are also used in the process, where the comparison with expected values are used for successively updating stored parameter values for the involved algorithms. By this, the system can succeedingly adapt itself for changed situations. The strong traffic variations, that are naturally occurring at short time intervals are treated with the use of noise-based methods. By this, there are formed distribution related measures as e.g. the standard deviation, which can be estimated from measurements, and submit a base for estimating probabilities for deviations of a certain size, e.g. related to the standard deviation. Automatic incident detection (AID) is based on determination of the desired false-alarm rate, and the related threshold level. The method includes accumulated measurements. Faster and more reliable incident detections are received with the use of the invented prediction process method.
