Short-term freeway traffic parameter prediction: Application of grey system theory models

作者:

Highlights:

• Three Grey System theory models for short term traffic speed prediction studied.

• The grey models demonstrated better accuracy than other tested nonlinear models.

• The Verhulst model with Fourier error correction demonstrates the best accuracy.

• The simpler derivations can allow the algorithms to be placed on portable devices.

• Well-defined mathematics of models can allow alteration for multidimensional data.
