The invention relates to a road network heavy truck traffic flow prediction method based on data quality control, which is characterized in that two data sources of GPS flow data and toll station monitoring data are divided into three types of data road sections, and different prediction methods are respectively adopted. For a road section with GPS flow data, due to the fact that the GPS data arenot completely obtained, a method that sample expansion is conducted through a piecewise constant coefficient method and then long-short-term recurrent neural network prediction is conducted is adopted. And for a data-free road section without GPS data, a K nearest neighbor algorithm is adopted to predict the flow. For a toll station monitoring data road section, due to comprehensive data samples,a long-short-term recurrent neural network algorithm is directly adopted for prediction. According to the method, starting from the actual engineering problem faced by flow prediction, multiple datasource characteristics are analyzed to improve the data quality, then the road network heavy truck flow measurement and calculation method is established, and finally the road network heavy truck flowbased on data quality control is formed.
