The complex and diverse urban road traffic environments make it difficult to accurately assess road traffic situations. This paper proposes a collaborative monitoring method for urban road traffic situational assessment during emergency events. This method is applied to a monitoring network mapped by road geographic relations. When an emergency event is captured by a monitoring node in the network, road traffic situational awareness is completed by an activation function. Then, the Incidence matrix of the emergency event is constructed based on the node degree of this monitoring node. The collaborative node set and collaborative monitoring area are formed dynamically from this Incidence matrix. Finally, the AHP and EM combination weight calculation method based on Game Theory (GT-AHP-EM) is used to fuse the data of various information in the collaborative monitoring area to predict the current road traffic trend. The experiments show that the collaborative monitoring method can effectively assess road traffic conditions and enhance the accuracy of road traffic trend prediction.
