Abstract

Accurate prediction of the short-term traffic condition can help to relieve the pressure of traffic and optimize the intelligent transportation system. Traditional traffic condition prediction is mainly based on historical time-series data only, and some sudden factors such as weather conditions are usually ignored. As a result, the accuracy of prediction is compromised. To address this issue, we propose a recurrent neural network to integrate the information of weather situations and road conditions to predict traffic conditions. Experimental results show that compared to the baseline methods using time-series data only, our proposed method can improve the prediction accuracy up to 5.6%.
