Simplified Monte Carlo collision model of real-time traffic flow prediction is proposed. In this model, two different road cells, roads and crosses, are configured. Vehicle distribution is generated by real-time traffic flow randomly. Based on two-dimensional topology, Monte Carlo collision between road and vehicles promote time evolution of the system. Monte Carlo collision is the core of the model and traffic flow is study target. The solution of relationship equations of road and vehicles is very simple in this model to speed up the computing. In addition, parameters can be corrected and configured at any time in the process of time evolution. Experimental results show that the model has the advantages of real-time, visual interface, easy configuration, and can be corrected by real-time feedback. The model can not only simulate and predict macroscopic data, such as flow, velocity distribution, but also follow the track of each vehicle in detail. So, the model can be used in researching both macroscopic and microscopic characteristics of vehicle movement.

Short-term traffic flow forecasting is a core problem in Intelligent Transportation System .Considering linear and nonlinear, this paper proposes a short-term traffic flow intelligent combination approach. The weight of four forecasting model is given by the correlation coefficient and standard deviation method. The experimental results show that the new approach of real-time traffic flow prediction is higher precision than single method.

Abstract Real-time prediction of traffic flow values in a short period of time is an importantelement in building a traffic management system. The uncertainty, complexity andnonlinearity of traffic flow data make it difficult to predict traffic flow in real time,and the accurate traffic flow prediction has been an urgent problem in the industry.Based on the research of scholars, a traffic flow prediction model based on thecorrelation vector machine method is constructed. The prediction accuracy of thecorrelation vector machine is better than that of the logistic regression and supportvector machine methods, and the correlation vector machine method has the functionof generating prediction error range for the actual traffic sequence data. Theprediction results are very satisfactory, and the prediction speed is significantlyfaster than the other two models, which meets the requirement of real-time trafficflow prediction and is suitable for real-time online prediction, and the predictionaccuracy of the used method is relatively high. The three-way comparison analysisshows that the traffic flow prediction by the correlation vector machine methodcan describe the nonlinear characteristics of traffic flow change more accurately,and the model performance and real-time performance are better. The case studyshows that the traffic flow prediction model based on the correlation vector machinecan improve the speed and accuracy of prediction, which is very suitablefor traffic flow prediction estimation with real-time requirements, and provides ascientific method for real-time traffic flow measurement.

Recently, dynamic traffic flow prediction models have increasingly been developed in a connected vehicle environment, which will be conducive to the development of more advanced traffic signal control systems. This paper proposes a rolling optimization model for real-time adaptive signal control based on a dynamic traffic flow model. The proposed method consists of two levels, i.e., barrier group and phase. The upper layer optimizes the length of the barrier group based on dynamic programming. The lower level optimizes the signal phase lengths with the objective of minimizing vehicle delay. Then, to capture the dynamic traffic flow, a rolling strategy was developed based on a real-time traffic flow prediction model. Finally, the proposed method was compared to the Controlled Optimization of Phases (COP) algorithm in a simulation experiment. The results showed that the average vehicle delay was significantly reduced, by as much as 17.95%, using the proposed method.
