Short-term traffic flow forecasting has a high requirement for the responding time and accuracy of the forecasting method because the result is directly used for instant traffic inducing. Based on the introduction of the fuzzy neural network model for short-term traffic flow forecasting together with its detailed procedures, this paper adopt the particle swarm optimization algorithm to train the fuzzy neural network. Its global searching and optimization algorithm helps to overcome the shortcomings of the traditional fuzzy neural network, such as its low efficiency and “local optimum”. A case study is also given for the PSO algorithm to train the fuzzy neural network for traffic flow forecasting. The result shows that the average square error is 0.932 when the PSO algorithm is put to use for the network training, which is 3.926 when the PSO is not used. Thus result is more accurate and it requires less time for the training procedures. It proves this method is feasible and efficient.

Gray Relation Analysis

Short-term traffic flow forecasting is a key component of intelligent transportation system, yet difficult to be forecasted reliably, and accurately. A novel hybrid forecasting model is proposed by combining three predictors, namely, the autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA), back propagation neural network (BPNN) and support vector regression (SVR). First, it is assumed that all previous intervals can have influence on the predicted interval and then the entropy-based gray relation analysis method is applied to analyze the correlation and determine the length of time constrain window. Second, an improved Euclidean distance is employed to identify the similarity. Furthermore, the rank-exponent method is utilized to rank the results according to the similarity and fuse the predicted values of the predictors. Finally, a numerical experiment is implemented, which indicates that the performance of forecasting results is superior to the conventional ones.

City-wide traffic flow forecasting is a significant function of the Intelligent Transport System (ITS), which plays an important role in city traffic management and public travel safety. However, this remains a very challenging task that is affected by many complex factors, such as road network distribution and external factors (e.g., weather, accidents, and holidays). In this paper, we propose a deep-learning-based multi-branch model called TFFNet (Traffic Flow Forecasting Network) to forecast the short-term traffic status (flow) throughout a city. The model uses spatiotemporal traffic flow matrices and external factors as its input and then infers and outputs the future short-term traffic status (flow) of the whole road network. For modelling the spatial correlations of the traffic flows between current and adjacent road segments, we employ a multi-layer fully convolutional framework to perform cross-correlation calculation and extract the hierarchical spatial dependencies from local to global scales. Also, we extract the temporal closeness and periodicity of traffic flow from historical observations by constructing a high-dimensional tensor comprised of traffic flow matrices from three fragments of the time axis: recent time, near history, and distant history. External factors are also considered and trained with a fully connected neural network and then fused with the output of the main component of TFFNet. The multi-branch model is automatically trained to fit complex patterns hidden in the traffic flow matrices until reaching pre-defined convergent criteria via the back-propagation method. By constructing a rational model input and network architecture, TFFNet can capture spatial and temporal dependencies simultaneously from traffic flow matrices during model training and outperforms other typical traffic flow forecasting methods in the experimental dataset.

Although, Back Propagation Neural Network are frequently implemented to forecast short-term electricity load, however, this training algorithm is criticized for its slow and improper convergence and poor generalization. There is a great need to explore the techniques that can overcome the above mentioned limitations to improve the forecast accuracy. In this paper, an improved BP neural network training algorithm is proposed that hybridizes simulated annealing and genetic algorithm (SA-GA). This hybrid approach leads to the integration of powerful local search capability of simulated annealing and near accurate global search performance of genetic algorithm. The proposed technique has shown better results in terms of load forecast accuracy and faster convergence. ISO New England data for the period of five years is employed to develop a case study that validates the efficacy of the proposed technique.

Fitness Value

Traffic flow forecasting is the key to an intelligent transportation system (ITS). Currently, the short-term traffic flow forecasting methods based on deep learning need to be further improved in terms of accuracy and computational efficiency. Therefore, a short-term traffic flow forecasting model GA-TCN based on genetic algorithm (GA) optimized time convolutional neural network (TCN) is proposed in this paper. The prediction error was considered as the fitness value and the genetic algorithm was used to optimize the filters, kernel size, batch size, and dilations hyperparameters of the temporal convolutional neural network to determine the optimal fitness prediction model. Finally, the model was tested using the public dataset PEMS. The results showed that the average absolute error of the proposed GA-TCN decreased by 34.09%, 22.42%, and 26.33% compared with LSTM, GRU, and TCN in working days, while the average absolute error of the GA-TCN decreased by 24.42%, 2.33%, and 3.92% in weekend days, respectively. The results indicate that the model proposed in this paper has a better adaptability and higher prediction accuracy in short-term traffic flow forecasting compared with the existing models. The proposed model can provide important support for the formulation of a dynamic traffic control scheme.
