Abstract

Traffic flow management of smart city is one of the most current topics in traffic modeling. We have developed a method based on traffic routing and reordering that is capable of performing this task. One of the inputs of this method is time-dependant probabilistic speed profile, i.e., speed profiles that take into account both the time and uncertainty of traffic speed due to various traffic events and peaks. However, the exact calculation of these profiles for each road is very difficult due to the huge amounts of real-world data required. Therefore, we propose a methodology, which should, by utilizing various available metadata about traffic network and Markov chain model, be capable of producing these probabilistic speed profiles synthetically.
