6 CONCLUSIONS AND FUTURE
WORK
In this paper we have presented Traffic Analytics Sys-
tem that analyses real world data and represents the
road-traffic ecosystem in a semantic fashion. Our
framework produces traffic analytics insights at ac-
tionable level of abstraction due to the semantic na-
ture of the database constructed and analyzed. We
also presented map-processing algorithms to extract
map features such as roads, lanes and junctions. We
also presented graph data science applications on the
semantic database of traffic. Finally we presented
how real world traffic data can be used to abstract
driving behavior which can in turn be used to gen-
erate realistic scenarios for simulation based testing
of AV stacks.
