Forecasting travel times based on actuated and historic data
نویسنده
چکیده
In this research a model of forecasting the travel times of links will be addressed. Forecasting is one of the main topics of an integrated traffic management system and a necessity of dynamic route planning systems. To be able to forecast properly we use both historic data and current data from monitoring devices as input for our dynamic model. Thus, combining the best of both worlds, we are able to forecast travel times in the near future based largely on current data as well as travel times for some time ahead based on current and historic data. Accuracy and variability of data are important as they are the key element if these models will be incorporated in route guidance and traffic management schemes.

Factor Analysis of a Novel Scoring-Based Instrument on Forecasting Malaysian Travelers’ Behavioral Preparedness for Travel-Related Infectious Diseases
Introduction: Preparedness for the prevention of travel-related infectious diseases among Malaysian international travelers has yet to be explored. With no such data, health programs to empower travelers on behavioral responses towards travel-related illnesses will be ineffective. The current study aimed to develop and validate a new scoring-based instrument measuring Malaysian...

In this paper, a data mining approach is proposed for duration prediction of the town trips (travel time) in New York City. In this regard, at first, two novel approaches, including a mathematical and a statistical approach, are proposed for grouping categorical variables with a huge number of levels. The proposed approaches work based on the cost matrix generated by repetitive post-hoc tests f...

متن کاملApplication of Discrete 3-level Nested Logit Model in Travel Demand Forecasting as an Alternative to Traditional 4-Step Model
This paper aims to introduce a new modelling approach that represents departure time, destination and travel mode choice under a unified framework. Through it, it is possible to overcome shortages of the traditional 4-step model associated with the lack of introducing actual travellers’ behaviours. This objective can be achieved through adopting discrete 3-level Nested Logit model that represen...
متن کاملPattern Matching and Neural Networks Based Hybrid Forecasting System
In this paper we propose a Neural Net-PMRS hybrid for forecasting time-series data. The neural network model uses the traditional MLP architecture and backpropagation method of training. Rather than using the last n lags for prediction, the input to the network is determined by the output of the PMRS (Pattern Modelling and Recognition System). PMRS matches current patterns in the time-series wi...
