Expectation-Maximization Based Parameter Identification for HMM of Urban Traffic Flow
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper concerns on modeling of traffic flow as a hybrid approach that combines continuous and discrete dynamics in a system. The model is chosen as simple as possible such as a Hidden Markov Model (HMM). Traffic flow can be classified into two-states and switching between two states controlled by first-order Markov chain with a certain probability. The model is characterized by several Gaussian parameters and estimated by using Expectation-Maximization (EM) technique. Actual traffic flow data on City of Jakarta and Bandung is used to model through EM estimation parameter and to validate the results by using particle filter. The results confirm that the proposed model gives satisfactory results which capture the variation of traffic flow. This work is easily extended to Jump Markov Model as a more general model especially relating to the development of traffic control design based upon queue length.

The Development of Maximum Likelihood Estimation Approaches for Adaptive Estimation of Free Speed and Critical Density in Vehicle Freeways
The performance of many traffic control strategies depends on how much the traffic flow models have been accurately calibrated. One of the most applicable traffic flow model in traffic control and management is LWR or METANET model. Practically, key parameters in LWR model, including free flow speed and critical density, are parameterized using flow and speed measurements gathered by inductive ...

متن کاملAbnormality Detection in a Landing Operation Using Hidden Markov Model
The air transport industry is seeking to manage risks in air travels. Its main objective is to detect abnormal behaviors in various flight conditions. The current methods have some limitations and are based on studying the risks and measuring the effective parameters. These parameters do not remove the dependency of a flight process on the time and human decisions. In this paper, we used an HMM...
متن کاملFramework for Traffic Pattern Identification: Required Step for Short-term Forecasting
In the world of transport management, the term ‘anticipation’ is gradually replacing ‘reaction’. Indeed, the ability to forecast traffic evolution in a network should ideally form the basis for many traffic management strategies and multiple ITS applications. Real-time prediction capabilities are therefore becoming a concrete need for the management of networks, both for urban and interurban en...
