Abstract
Despite the growing trend in intelligent transportation systems applications, there are still many problems waiting for an accurate solution such as traffic flow forecasting. In this paper, based on real-time data provided by dual loop speed traps detectors at given slot of time, we propose a cloud-based data collection method which is aimed to improve prediction accuracy. To reach this level of accuracy, two traffic parameters were introduced, the average speed and the foreseen arrival time between two vehicles. By adopting Choquet integral operator, these parameters can subsequently aggregate to busiest traffic parameters. Afterwards, a simple linear regression is applied for a dual purpose, the first to predict the traffic flow, then prove that there is a relationship between derived busiest arrival time and the traffic flow. Moreover, the simulation charts demonstrates that the forecasts by the Choquet operator ensure an accurate results to the real-time data. In contrast, the forecasts using weighted average operator lead to low accuracy compared with real-time data.
