Load Prediction of In-Service Bridges by Using an Unbiased Grey Markov Forecasting Model
نویسندگان
چکیده
Reliable prediction of traffic loads is essential for bridge planning and design. In the study, an improved unbiased Grey Markov forecasting model is applied to predict traffic loads on highway bridges. The comparison between the predicted results and existing practical measurements indicates that high accuracy can be achieved by using the developed model for bridge load prediction. The developed model shows great promise in structural design and durability assessment of highway bridges.

Grey theory [1] has been proposed over 30 years. Great endeavor has been devoted to increase the forecasting precision. One of methods treated the forecasting error to become the modified grey forecasting model. Hsu and Wen [2] modified original GM (1,1) models are improved by using residual modifications with Markov chain sign estimations. Hsu and Chen [3] improved grey GM (1,1) model, using a...
