"Short-Term Travel Time Prediction on Road Networks"

By Mr. Bin Liu


Abstract:

Intelligent route choice for a traveler is based not only on the
geographical distance of routes but also on traffic conditions. The latter
factor can actually turn the geographically shortest path into the
"longest" one to travel (e.g., traffic jam). This makes traditional
shortest path algorithms inapplicable. To remedy this situation,
Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) predict short-term travel times
of possible routes, based on historical and current information. This
report surveys travel time prediction techniques and related work in the
Kalman filtering, time series analysis, transportation networks and
spatio-temporal databases.
