1. A computer-implemented system for valuation of relative utility of data associated with an arterial flow system, comprising: a flow system representation that describes probable flow for the flow system; and a valuation component that generates a utility value associated with at least one section of a plurality of sections of the flow system based at least in part upon the flow system representation, the utility value is a function of the utility of sensor data associated with the section in detecting congestion for the flow system.
