Abstract

The problem of travel time estimation by neural nets based on traffic data is considered in the paper. After a successful preliminary research on using neural networks to predict travel time based on real data is recalled, the next step of our research is presented, which utilizes urban traffic simulations in SUMO simulator as training data generator for training neural networks.
