A Streaming Algorithm for Online Estimation of Temporal and Spatial Extent of Delays

Table 1

Estimation results on NGSIM data using the proposed algorithm and benchmark algorithm, = 0.48 km. Note that if the shockwave is not detected, the estimated travel time would be equal to normal travel time .
