摘要：	The application of a nonlinear time series model to the prediction of traffic parameters on a freeway network is investigated. The nonlinear time series approach is a statistical technique that has strong potential for on-line implementation. A new approach for predicting corridor travel times is developed and tested with travel-time data. The travel-time data are derived from observed speed data, which are collected from an 18-km (11.2-mi) freeway section in Orlando, Florida. The westbound Interstate-4 morning peak period (6:00 to 10:00 a.m.) for 20 incident-free days is tested with the goal of predicting recurrent congestion. The problem is addressed from the perspectives of single-variable and multiple-variable prediction of corridor travel times. In single-variable prediction, speed time-series data are used to forecast travel times along the freeway corridor. A calibrated single-variable prediction model is developed through the application of decay factors to smooth out the input data and the establishment of a threshold on the minimum speed prediction permitted. Multivariable prediction schemes are developed using speed, occupancy, and volume data provided by inductive loop detectors on the study section. The prediction performance of the calibrated single-variable model is shown to be superior to the multivariable prediction schemes. This new approach produces reasonable errors for short-term (5-min) travel-time predictions. The developed model can be implemented on-line with minimal effort.
