Accurate traffic flow forecasting is critical to the development and implementation of city intelligent transportation systems. Therefore, it is one of the most important components in the research of urban traffic scheduling. However, traffic flow forecasting involves a rather complex nonlinear data pattern, particularly during workday peak periods, and a lot of research has shown that traffic flow data reveals a seasonal trend. This paper proposes a new traffic flow forecasting model that combines seasonal relevance vector regression with the hybrid chaotic simulated annealing method (SRVRCSA). Additionally, a numerical example of traffic flow data from The Transportation Data Research Laboratory is used to elucidate the forecasting performance of the proposed SRVRCSA model. The forecasting results indicate that the proposed model yields more accurate forecasting results than the seasonal auto regressive integrated moving average (SARIMA), the double seasonal Holt-Winters exponential smoothing (DSHWES), and the relevance vector regression with hybrid Chaotic Simulated Annealing method (RVRCSA) models. The forecasting performance of RVRCSA with different kernel functions is also studied.

The purpose of this study is to find the factors that reduce prediction error in traffic volume using highway traffic volume data. The ARIMA model was used to predict the day, and it was confirmed that weekday and weekly characteristics were distinguished by prediction error. The forecasting results showed that weekday characteristics were prominent on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays, and forecast errors including MAPE and MAE on Sunday were about 15% points and about 10 points higher than weekday characteristics. Also, on Friday, the forecast error was high on weekdays, similar to Sunday's forecast error, unlike Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, which had weekday characteristics. Therefore, when forecasting the time series belonging to Friday, it should be regarded as a weekly characteristic having characteristics similar to weekend rather than considering as weekday.

During the past few years, various traffic-flow forecasting models, i.e. an ARIMA, an ANN, and so on, have been developed to predict more accurate traffic flow. However, these models analyze historical data in an attempt to predict future value of a variable of interest. They make use of the following basic strategy. Past data are analyzed in order to identify a pattern that can be used to describe them. Then this pattern is extrapolated, or extended, into the future in order to make forecasts. This strategy rests on the assumption that the pattern that has been identified will continue into the future. So ARIMA or ANN models with its traditional architecture cannot be expected to give good predictions unless this assumption is valid; The statistical models in particular, the time series models are deficient in the sense that they merely extrapolate past patterns in the data without reflecting the expected irregular and infrequent future events Also forecasting power of a single model is limited to its accurate. In this paper, we compared with an ANN model and ARIMA model and tried to combine an ARIMA model and ANN model for obtaining a better forecasting performance. In addition to combining two models, we also introduced judgmental adjustment technique. Our approach can improve the forecasting power in traffic flow. To validate our model, we have compared the performance with other models. Finally we prove that the proposed model, i.e. ARIMA + ANN + Judgmental Adjustment, is superior to the other model.

In intelligent transportation systems, traffic management is an important task. The accurate forecasting of traffic characteristics like flow, congestion, and density is still active research because of the non-linear nature and uncertainty of the spatiotemporal data. Inclement weather, such as rain and snow, and other special events such as holidays, accidents, and road closures have a significant impact on driving and the average speed of vehicles on the road, which lowers traffic capacity and causes congestion in a widespread manner. This work designs a model for multivariate short-term traffic congestion prediction using SLSTM_AE-BiLSTM. The proposed design consists of a Bidirectional Long Short Term Memory(BiLSTM) network to predict traffic flow value and a Convolutional Neural network (CNN) model for detecting the congestion status. This model uses spatial static temporal dynamic data. The stacked Long Short Term Memory Autoencoder (SLSTM AE) is used to encode the weather features into a reduced and more informative feature space. BiLSTM model is used to capture the features from the past and present traffic data simultaneously and also to identify the long-term dependencies. It uses the traffic data and encoded weather data to perform the traffic flow prediction. The CNN model is used to predict the recurring congestion status based on the predicted traffic flow value at a particular urban traffic network. In this work, a publicly available Caltrans PEMS dataset with traffic parameters is used. The proposed model generates the congestion prediction with an accuracy rate of 92.74% which is slightly better when compared with other deep learning models for congestion prediction.

The traffic flow in an urban area is affected by the date, weather, and regional traffic flow. The existing methods are weak to model the dynamic road network features, which results in inadequate long-term prediction performance. To solve the problems regarding insufficient capacity for dynamic modeling of road network structures and insufficient mining of dynamic spatio-temporal features. In this study, we propose a novel traffic flow prediction framework called shared spatio-temporal attention convolution optimization network (SSTACON). The shared spatio-temporal attention convolution layer shares a spatio-temporal attention structure, that is designed to extract dynamic spatio-temporal features from historical traffic conditions. Subsequently, the graph optimization module is used to model the dynamic road network structure. The experimental evaluation conducted on two datasets shows that the proposed method outperforms state-of-the-art methods at all time intervals.

고속도로 교통류 제어는 기존의 Reactive 방식(실시간 대응)에서 Proactive 방식(사전 대응)으로 발전하고 있다. 첨단 고속도로 교통류 제어의 핵심 입력자료 중 하나는 여러 시간대에 걸치는 장래 교통량 상태이다. 다중 시간대 교통량 예측을 위해서는 장래 상태의 불확실성을 극복해야 한다. 이는 예측 시간대의 확장에 따라 장래 상태의 불확실성은 증가하기 때문이다. 따라서 다중 시간대 교통량 예측을 위해서는 장래 상태의 불확실성을 효과적으로 극복할 수 있는 실행 가능한 방안이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 대용량 이력자료에 내재된 교통류 상태의 시간적 진화 행태를 이용하여 장래 상태의 불확실성을 효과적으로 극복함으로써 다중 시간대 장래 교통량 상태를 예측하는 모형을 제시하도록 한다. 개발 모형은 현행 교통량의 상태 진화를 기반으로 대용량 자료에 내재된 과거 상태를 추출하고, 이를 이용하여 장래 상태를 예측한다. 추가로, 개발된 모형은 실제 적용을 고려하여 자료관리시스템에 적합하도록 설계되었다. 적용결과, 개발모형은 다중 시간대에 걸치는 불확실성을 효과적으로 극복함으로써 우수한 예측력을 보였으며, 첨단자료관리시스템에 실제 적용이 가능하다고 판단된다.

For decades, simulation technique has been well validated in areas such as computer and communication systems. Recently, the technique has been much used in the area of transportation and traffic forecasting. Several methods have been proposed for investigating complex traffic flows. However, the dynamics of vehicles and diversities of driver characteristics have never been considered sufficiently in these methods, although they are considered important factors in traffic flow analysis. In this paper, we propose a traffic simulation tool called Multi-Agent for Traffic Simulation with Vehicle Dynamics Model (MATDYMO). Road transport consultants, traffic engineers and urban traffic control center managers are expected to use MATDYMO to efficiently simulate traffic flow. MATDYMO has four sub systems: the road management system, the vehicle motion control system, the driver management system, and the integration control system. The road management system simulates traffic flow for various traffic environments (e.g., multi-lane roads, nodes, virtual lanes, and signals); the vehicle motion control system constructs the vehicle agent by using various vehicle dynamic models; the driver management system constructs the driver agent capable of having different driving styles; and lastly, the integrated control system regulates the MATDYMO as a whole and observes the agents running in the system. The vehicle motion control system and driver management system are described in the companion paper. An interrupted and uninterrupted flow model were simulated, and the simulation results were verified by comparing them with the results from a commercial software, TRANSYT-7F. The simulation result of the uninterrupted flow model showed that the driver agent displayed human-like behavior ranging from slow and careful driving to fast and aggressive driving. The simulation of the interrupted flow model was implemented as two cases. The first case analyzed traffic flow as the traffic signals changed at different intervals and as the turning traffic volume changed. Second case analyzed the traffic flow as the traffic signals changed at different intervals and as the road length changed. The simulation results of the interrupted flow model showed that the close relationship between traffic state change and traffic signal interval.

텔레매틱스 서비스 중 가장 보편적으로 사용되는 것이 출발지에서 목적지까지의 최단 경로 안내 서비스이다. 본 논문에서는 미래 시간에 대한 교통흐름 예측 결과를 바탕으로 한 동적 최단 경로 탐색 시스템을 개발하고 실시간교통정보를 이용한 다양한 실험을 수행하여 성능을 분석하였다. 교통흐름 예측은 베이지안 네트워크 (Bayesian network)를 이용한 예측 시스템을 사용하였다. 동일한 출발지와 목적지에 대해 동적 최단 경로와 정적 및 누적 최단 경로를 탐색하고 각 경로에 대한 통행 시간을 계산하여 실제 최단 경로의 통행시간과 비교하였다. 실험 결과 75% 이상의 비율로 동적 최단 경로의 통행시간이 정적이나 누적 최단 경로의 통행시간보다 실제 최단경로의 통행시간에 가깝게 나타났다. 따라서 중간 경유지에 도착 예정인 시간대의 교통 흐름을 예측하여 동적 최단 경로를 구하는 것이 출발시간의 교통흐름을 모든 구간에 적용하여 최단 경로를 구하는 정적 최단 경로에 비해 더 정확한 교통정보를 제공하여 텔레매틱스 서비스의 품질을 향상시킬 수 있음을 보여 주었다.

To give a guarantee a consistently high level of quality and reliability of Telematics traffic service, traffic flow forecasting is very important issue. In this paper, we proposed an adaptable integrated prediction model to predict the traffic flow in the future. Our model combines two methods, short-term prediction model and long-term prediction model with different combining coefficients to reflect current traffic condition. Short-term model uses the Kalman filtering technique to predict the future traffic conditions. And long-term model processes accumulated speed patterns which means the analysis results for all past speeds of each road by classifying the same day and the same time interval. Combining two models makes it possible to predict future traffic flow with higher accuracy over a longer time range. Many experiments showed our algorithm gives a better precise prediction than only an accumulated speed pattern that is used commonly. The result can be applied to the car navigation to support a dynamic shortest path. In addition, it can give users the travel information to avoid the traffic congestion areas.

교통사고로 인한 많은 인명피해가 발생하고 있으나, 첨단 기술의 발전에도 불구하고 교통사고 발생은 줄어들지 않고 있다. 교통사고를 사전에 예방하기 위해서는 향후 사고가 어떻게 변화하여 갈 것인지를 정확하게 예측할 필요가 있다. 지금까지 교통사고 발생 빈도 예측은 주요 연구 분야가 아니었으며 주로 과거 일정 기간의 통계를 기반으로 전통적인 방법으로 미시적으로 분석되어 왔다. 최근 AI 기술이 교통사고 분야에 도입 되었음에도 불구하고 주로 교통 흐름 예측에 초점을 맞추고 있어, 본 연구에서는 2014년부터 2019년까지 국내에서 발생한 1,339,587건의 교통사고 기록을 시계열 데이터로 변환하고 AI 알고리즘 LSTM을 이용하여 연령별, 시간별 교통사고 발생 빈도를 예측하였다. 또한 코로나-19로 인한 교통 환경의 변화에 맞추어 예측값과 실제값을 비교 검증하였다. 향후 이러한 연구결과가 교통사고 예방의 정책개선으로 이어지고 사고 예방에 활용 될 것으로 기대된다.
