With the rapid development of urban informatization, the era of big data is coming. To satisfy the demand of traffic congestion early warning, this paper studies the method of real-time traffic flow state identification and prediction based on big data-driven theory. Traffic big data holds several characteristics, such as temporal correlation, spatial correlation, historical correlation, and multistate. Traffic flow state quantification, the basis of traffic flow state identification, is achieved by a SAGA-FCM (simulated annealing genetic algorithm based fuzzyc-means) based traffic clustering model. Considering simple calculation and predictive accuracy, a bilevel optimization model for regional traffic flow correlation analysis is established to predict traffic flow parameters based on temporal-spatial-historical correlation. A two-stage model for correction coefficients optimization is put forward to simplify the bilevel optimization model. The first stage model is built to calculate the number of temporal-spatial-historical correlation variables. The second stage model is present to calculate basic model formulation of regional traffic flow correlation. A case study based on a real-world road network in Beijing, China, is implemented to test the efficiency and applicability of the proposed modeling and computing methods.

A combined numerical and experimental method study was performed to detect the inner flow state for a type of centrifugal pump. It was found that the inlet attack angles of blades in an impeller have a great influence on the flow instabilities in a centrifugal pump. The mechanism of the rotating stall in the impeller channel was explained. Meanwhile, flow state identification with vibration (FSIV) was proposed to detect the flow instabilities in a centrifugal pump. The relationship between the external vibration and the inner flow state has been established by FSIV. The characteristics and mechanism of the vibration produced by the flow instabilities in a centrifugal pump were investigated. It was found that the hump, the rotating stall, the backflow, the occurrence of unstable flow, and the cavitation in the centrifugal pump can be effectively detected by applying the vibration signals, which helps to obtain safe and steady operating conditions for the system.

Fuzzy cognitive maps (FCM) have been broadly employed to analyze complex and decidedly uncertain systems in modeling, forecasting, decision making, etc. Road traffic flow is also notoriously known as a highly uncertain nonlinear and complex system. Even though applications of FCM in risk analysis have been presented in various engineering fields, this research aims at modeling road traffic flow based on macroscopic characteristics through FCM. Therefore, a simulation of variables involved with road traffic flow carried out through FCM reasoning on historical data collected from the e-toll dataset of Hungarian networks of freeways. The proposed FCM model is developed based on 58 selected freeway segments as the “concepts” of the FCM; moreover, a new inference rule for employing in FCM reasoning process along with its algorithms have been presented. The results illustrate FCM representation and computation of the real segments with their main road traffic-related characteristics that have reached an equilibrium point. Furthermore, a simulation of the road traffic flow by performing the analysis of customized scenarios is presented, through which macroscopic modeling objectives such as predicting future road traffic flow state, route guidance in various scenarios, freeway geometric characteristics indication, and effectual mobility can be evaluated.

With the application of vehicles to everything (V2X) technologies, drivers can obtain massive traffic information and adjust their car-following behavior according to the information. The macro-characteristics of traffic flow are essentially the overall expression of the micro-behavior of drivers. There are some shortcomings in the previous researches on traffic flow in the V2X environment, which result in difficulties to employ the related models or methods in exploring the characteristics of traffic flow affected by the information of generalized preceding vehicles (GPV). Aiming at this, a simulation framework based on the car-following model and the cellular automata (CA) is proposed in this work, then the traffic flow affected by the information of GPV is simulated and analyzed utilizing this framework. The research results suggest that the traffic flow, which is affected by the information of GPV in the V2X environment, would operate with a higher value of velocity, volume as well as jamming density and can maintain the free flow state with a much higher density of vehicles. The simulation framework constructed in this work can provide a reference for further research on the characteristics of traffic flow affected by various information in the V2X environment.

In order to overcome the inaccuracy of current research results of traffic flow prediction, this paper proposes a prediction method for traffic flow with small time granularity at intersection based on probability network. This method takes one minute as time granularity, collects traffic data such as cross-section flow, section traffic flow velocity data, traffic density, road occupancy, section delay and steering ratio by using RFID technology, and analyzes and processes the data. By introducing Bayesian network in probabilistic network and combining K-nearest neighbor method, historical data and predicted traffic flow state are classified to realize the prediction of traffic flow with small time granularity at intersections. The experimental results show that this method has high prediction accuracy and reliability, and is a feasible traffic flow prediction method.

Speed dispersion is an important indicator to portray the quality of traffic flow and is closely related to the road safety operation level. In order to clarify the influence of posted speed limits on the dispersion of traffic flow speed, three sections with speed limits of 80 km/h, 100 km/h and 120 km/h on the same expressway were selected for observation, and traffic volume, speed and other parameters were collected. The characteristic speeds, such as average speed, V15 and V85, were evaluation indicators, where V15 and V85 are the speeds of the 15th and 85th percentiles measured at the feature points of the road when the traffic is in a free-flow state and the weather is good. The relationship between different posted speed limit values and the above indicators was analyzed using the statistical analysis software, SPSS. The results show that the speed limit has a high correlation with the average speed of traffic flow, V15 and V85 in free-flow state, with the coefficient of determination being as high as 0.84, 0.85 and 0.92, respectively. In the restricted flow state, the factors affecting the driver’s driving speed are mainly the decrease in driving freedom caused by the increase of traffic volume rather than the speed limit value. In a free-flow state, when the posted speed limit is increased and the average speed and the V85 also increased by approximately the same magnitude. The posted speed limit values of 80 km/h, 100 km/h and 120 km/h correspond to the 90, 88 and 97 percentile speeds of the traffic flow, respectively. The higher the speed limit is, the larger the speed difference between V15 and V85 becomes. The results of the study are very useful for rationally determining the speed limit scheme under different traffic flows.
