The main purpose of this study was to investigate the use of various chaotic pattern recognition methods for traffic flow prediction. Traffic flow is a variable, dynamic and complex system, which is non-linear and unpredictable. The emergence of traffic flow congestion in road traffic is estimated when the traffic load on a specific section of the road in a specific time period is close to exceeding the capacity of the road infrastructure. Under certain conditions, it can be seen in concentrating chaotic traffic flow patterns. The literature review of traffic flow theory and its connection with chaotic features implies that this kind of method has great theoretical and practical value. Researched methods of identifying chaos in traffic flow have shown certain restrictions in their techniques but have suggested guidelines for improving the identification of chaotic parameters in traffic flow. The proposed new method of forecasting congestion in traffic flow uses Wigner-Ville frequency distribution. This method enables the display of a chaotic attractor without the use of reconstruction phase space.

Traffic flow prediction is one of the fundamental components in Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS). Many traffic flow prediction models have been developed, but with limitation of noise sensitivity, which will result in poor generalization. Fused Lasso, also known as total variation denoising, penalizes L1-norm on the model coefficients and pairwise differences between neighboring coefficients, has been widely used to analyze highly correlated features with a natural order, as is the case with traffic flow. It denoises data by encouraging both sparsity of coefficients and their differences, and estimates the coefficients of highly correlated variables to be equal to each other. However, for traffic data, the same coefficients will lead to overexpression of features, and losing the trend of time series of traffic flow. In this work, we propose a Fused Ridge multi-task learning (FR-MTL) model for multi-road traffic flow prediction. It introduces Fused Ridge for traffic data denoising, imposes penalty on L2-norm of the coefficients and their differences. The penalty of L2-norm proportionally shrinks coefficients, and generates smooth coefficient vectors with non-sparsity. It has both capability of trend preservation and denoising. In addition, we jointly consider multi-task learning (MTL) for training shared spatiotemporal information among traffic roads. The experiments on real traffic data show the advantages of the proposed model over other four regularized baseline models, and on traffic data with Gaussian noise and missing data, the FR-MTL model demonstrates potential and promising capability with satisfying accuracy and effectiveness.

Urban traffic control has become a big issue to help traffic management in recent years. With data explosion, Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) is developing rapidly. ITS is an advanced data-based method for traffic control, which requires timely and effective information supply. This research aims at providing real-time and accurate traffic flow data by intelligent prediction method. Applying multiple road traffic flow data of the Caltrans Performance Measurement System (PeMS) and separating the time series, the mechanism of spatial-temporal differences was taken into consideration. Based on the basic Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) model, an improved LSTM model with Dropout and Bi-structure (Bi-LSTM) for traffic flow prediction was presented. In the prediction process, we applied three models including the improved Bi-LSTM model, Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU) model and Linear Regression in the experiment, and made a comparison from aspects of model structure complexity, operating efficiency and prediction accuracy. To validate the portability of the prediction model, the features of traffic flow from different datasets were further analyzed. The experimental results show that the improved Bi-LSTM model performs best in traffic flow prediction with comprehensive rationality, which reaches an accuracy of about 92% when considering temporal differences. Particularly, the specific factors of traffic situations and locations which is more applicable to be predicted by the improved Bi-LSTM model are summarized considering spatial differences. This research proposes an advanced and accurate model to provide real-time and short-term traffic flow prediction data, which is of great help to intelligent traffic control. Considering the mechanism between model and road traffic properties, the results suggest that it is more applicable in urban commercial area.

The effect of traffic flow prediction plays an important role in routing selection. Traditional traffic flow forecasting methods mainly include linear, nonlinear, neural network, and Time Series Analysis method. However, all of them have some shortcomings. This paper analyzes the existing algorithms on traffic flow prediction and characteristics of city traffic flow and proposes a road traffic flow prediction method based on transfer probability. This method first analyzes the transfer probability of upstream of the target road and then makes the prediction of the traffic flow at the next time by using the traffic flow equation. Newton Interior-Point Method is used to obtain the optimal value of parameters. Finally, it uses the proposed model to predict the traffic flow at the next time. By comparing the existing prediction methods, the proposed model has proven to have good performance. It can fast get the optimal value of parameters faster and has higher prediction accuracy, which can be used to make real-time traffic flow prediction.

Traffic flow prediction has great significance for improving road traffic capacity and traffic safety. However, traffic flow in a certain area is usually affected by some factors such as weather, holidays and neighboring areas. So, traffic situation is complicated and traffic flow prediction is difficult. How to use existing traffic data information to predict future traffic flow is the key to this problem. In this paper, we develop an accurate prediction model based on dilated convolution — ST-MINet (Deep Spatio-Temporal Modified-Inception with Dilated convolution Networks). We fully consider the complexity, nonlinearity and uncertainly of traffic network by summarizing various network models such as ResNet and Inception. So, we use the deep space-time residual network to ensure the convolution accuracy of the information’s position distribution on the basis of existing networks. Then, we add the cavity convolution to the model, which can effectively control the field of view of the convolution kernel. In the experimental part, we compare ten classical algorithms with our ST-MINet, it shows that our model has higher accuracy than others.
