Method for forecasting traffic flow in urban area based on depth learning

A traffic flow and urban area technology, applied in the field of urban area traffic flow prediction based on deep learning, can solve the problem of not considering the temporal and spatial characteristics of traffic flow changes at the same time, lacking support for long-term traffic flow forecasting methods, and only considering the correlation of traffic flow changes, etc. problem, to achieve the effect of improving the prediction accuracy

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

This patented technique allows us to predict traffic flows over different parts of our country from just about any part of that world without relying solely upon previous data sources like past records. It uses advanced techniques such as convolutional networks and Long Short Term Memory (LSTM) structures to capture complex patterns within large amounts of data. By combining these two types of models together, we aimed towards better understanding how traffic moves across multiple locations during peak hours. Overall, this new approach provides more accurate predictions than current approaches alone.

Problems solved by technology

The technical problem addressed by this patented method relates to improving accurate traffic flow predictors while considering both temporal and spatial aspects during realistic scenarios like highway congested areas.

Embodiment

[0057] Such as figure 1 Shown is the algorithm flow chart of the traffic flow prediction method in urban areas based on deep learning, and its prediction system includes a traffic flow calculation module and a traffic flow prediction module based on grid areas. In the traffic flow calculation module, firstly, the urban road network is divided into grid areas according to latitude and longitude, and the license plate recognition (LPR) equipment of each road section in the urban road network is mapped to the grid area; secondly, according to the data of the LPR equipment, the The vehicle passing records of each device in each time period; again, the results of the above two steps are combined to calculate the traffic flow in each grid area in each time period; finally, the traffic data is normalized. In the traffic flow prediction module, firstly, the traffic flow data in the key time period is selected as the input of the convolutional long short-term memory network (ConvLSTM),...

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for forecasting the traffic flow in the urban area based on depth learning. This method can forecast the traffic flow in each region of the city by extracting the high-dimensional space-time characteristics of traffic flow changes, which provides a new idea for urban traffic flow forecasting. Firstly, according to data of LPR equipment, the historical flow of each time period of the urban area is calculated; then the traffic flow forecasting model is designed by ConvLSTM and CNN, and the flow data of the critical time period which affects the forecast period is extracted as the input training model; and finally, the trained model is used to forecast the traffic flow of the urban area.
