In order to improve the prediction precision of the short-term traffic flow, a prediction method of short-term traffic flow based on cloud model was proposed. The traffic flow was fit by cloud model. The history cloud and the present cloud were built by historical traffic flow and present traffic flow. The forecast cloud is produced by both clouds. Then, combining with the volume of the short-term traffic flow of an intersection in Guangzhou City, the model was calculated and simulated through programming. Max Absolute Error (MAE) and Mean Absolute percent Error (MAPE) were used to estimate the effect of prediction. The simulation results indicate that this prediction method is effective and advanced. The change of the historical and real time traffic flow is taken into account in this method. Because the short-term traffic flow is dealt with as a whole, the error of prediction is avoided. The prediction precision and real-time prediction are satisfied.

Real-time traffic flow prediction is one of important issues of intelligent transportation system. Based on the theory of stochastic process of the traffic flow data, the prediction methods, such as grey expecting model and neural network, were applied in this paper. Then according to the actual traffic flow data, an improved model was proposed and the fluctuation range of predicted traffic flow was determined due to calculate an accurate result. Finally, the experiment shows that the designed prediction model can be able to achieve a short time prediction accurately for traffic flow.

In order to meet the highway guidance demand, this work studies the short-term traffic flow prediction method of highway. The Yu-Wu highway which is the main road in Chongqing, China, traffic flow time series is taken as the study object. It uses phase space reconstruction theory and Lyapunov exponent to analyze the nonlinear character of traffic flow. A new Volterra prediction method based on model order reduction via quadratic-linear systems (QLMOR) is applied to predict the traffic flow. Compared with Taylor-expansion-based methods, these QLMOR-reduced Volterra models retain more information of the system and more accuracy. The simulation results using this new Volterra model to predict short time traffic flow reveal that the accuracy of chaotic traffic flow prediction is enough for highway guidance and could be a new reference for intelligent highway management.

Designed a DNA-based genetic algorithm under the universal architecture of organic computing, combined particle swarm optimization algorithm, introduced a crossover operation for the particle location, can interfere with the particles speed, make inert particles escape the local optimum points, enhanced PSO algorithm's ability to get rid of local extreme point. Utilized improved algorithms to train the RBF neural network models, predict short-time traffic flow of a region intelligent traffic control. Simulation and error analysis of experimental results showed that, the designed algorithms can accurately forecast short-time traffic flow of the regional intelligent transportation control, forecasting effects is better, can be effectively applied to actual traffic engineering.
