Traffic flow forecasting has become an emphasis question for discussion in traffic engineering domain and one kernel study in Intelligent Transportation System. After ensuring the traffic flow has the characteristic of chaos, traffic flow real data have been used to reconstruct phase space. Calculate the saturation phase space embedding dimension and maximal Lyapunov exponent. By above all, a chaos neural network model is constructed, which can make high precision short-term forecast for the nonlinear big-lagged system even by imperfect and variation inputs. At last, a forecasting example provides that the traffic flow forecasting based on chaos neural network is validity and feasibility.

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.

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.

Traditional short-term traffic flow forecasting of road usually based on back propagation neural network, which has a low prediction accuracy and convergence speed. This paper introduces a spline weight function neural networks which has a feature that the weight function can well reflect sample information after training, thus propose a short-term traffic flow forecasting method base on the spline weight function neural network, specify the network learning algorithm, and make a comparative tests bases on the actual data. The result proves that in short-term traffic flow forecasting, the spline weight function neural network is more effective than traditional methods.

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.
