Abstract
The Portable Extendable Traffic Information Collator (POETIC) is an information extraction system that extracts traffic information from free text occurring in police incident logs and initiates (simulated) broadcasts of traffic bulletins to motorists when appropriate. POETIC is a second stage prototype system; the initial prototype (TIC, see Evans and Hartley 1990) was limited to the practices and requirements of a single police force. In POETIC, the architecture and data representations have been generalised to make the system tailorable to many different police force ‘domains’. In this paper we describe these developments, and report on tests of the system on authentic input data from three police domains.Keywords
