* We apologize if you receive multiple copies of this email* ICDM DM Contest: "Road Traffic Forecasting for Intelligent GPS Navigation" Web page: http://tunedit.org/challenge/IEEE-ICDM-2010 IEEE ICDM 2010 Data Mining Contest is starting now. Everyone is invited to participate. The task is to predict city traffic based on measurements from Automatic Traffic Recorders or real-time notifications from in-car GPS navigators. Best solutions will be awarded with prizes worth 5,000 USD in total. Over the last century, number of cars engaged in vehicular traffic has increased rapidly, causing many difficulties for all citizens: traffic jams, large and unpredictable communication delays, pollution etc. Excessive traffic became a civilization problem that affects everyone who lives in a city of 50,000 or larger, anywhere in the world. Complexity of processes that stand behind traffic flow is so large, that only data mining algorithms may bring efficient solutions. With the proposed competition, we want to ask researchers to devise the best possible algorithms that tackle problems of traffic flow prediction, for the purpose of intelligent driver navigation and improved city planning.
