In order to improve the prediction accuracy of busy telephone traffic which is influenced by multiple factors, this paper proposes a combined forecasting model which takes the influence of multiple factors into consideration and combines three models ——wavelet transform, autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) model and least squares support vector machines (LSSVM) model, LSSVM is opti...

Statistical traffic data analysis is a hot topic in traffic management and control. In this field, current research progresses focus on analyzing traffic flows of individual links or local regions in a transportation network. Less attention are paid to the global view of traffic states over the entire network, which is important for modeling large-scale traffic scenes. Our aim is precisely to p...

Road section data packet is very necessary for the estimation and prediction in short-time traffic condition. However, previous researches on this problem are lack of quantitative analysis. A section correlation analyzing method with traffic flow microwave data is proposed for this problem. It is based on the metric multidimensional scaling theory. With a dissimilarity matrix, scalar product ma...

Road traffic prediction is a critical component in modern smart transportation systems. It provides the basis for traffic management agencies to generate proactive traffic operation strategies for alleviating congestion. Existing work on near-term traffic prediction (forecasting horizons in the range of 5 minutes to 1 hour) relies on the past and current traffic conditions. However, once the fo...

For modeling of change of terminal server load, the approach including representation of time series of server parameters in the form of fuzzy time series is used. Further in the article the analysis of fuzzy time series is considered. The model of fuzzy tendencies is offered for terminal server traffic modeling. This model reflects change of the volume of terminal server traffic expressed ling...

The sequential travel forecasting procedure is widely accepted without question by transportation planners, yet its origins are obscure, its effects on practice and research may well be negative, and by focusing attention on individual steps, it tends to impede overall progress in improving forecasting methods. Alternatives to the sequential procedure proposed by researchers over the past 30 ye...

Several univariate and multivariate models have been proposed for performing short term forecasting of traffic flow. In this paper two different univariate (historical average and ARIMA) and two multivariate (VARMA and STARIMA) models are presented and discussed. A comparison of the forecasting performance of these four models is undertaken using datasets from 25 loop detectors located in major...

203 words) In ITS (Intelligent Transportation System) equipped urban transportation systems noncritical junctions are often ignored in short-term traffic condition prediction algorithms as the traffic data collection systems in these junctions are not adequate. The paper proposes a shortterm traffic volume model based on a combination of discrete wavelet transform (DWT) and Bayesian hierarchica...

This empirical study sheds light on the spatial correlation of traffic links under different traffic regimes. We mimic the behavior of real traffic by pinpointing the spatial correlation between 140 freeway traffic links in a major sub-network of the Minneapolis-St. Paul freeway system with a grid-like network topology. This topology enables us to juxtapose the positive and negative correlation...
