A location for a traffic incident can be determined by a computer system, using data from a first and second sensor along a travel path. A receiving and sending symptom of the traffic incident are detected from a first and second sensor, using traffic flow data from the sensors. The locations of the first and second sensors are determined. The location and traffic flow data from each sensor are used to create a sending and receiving profiles. From the profiles, a convergence formula is build. Using the convergence formula and by determining a convergence point for the sending and receiving symptoms, a time and location of the traffic incident is identified.
