In this paper, we present a deep learning based approach to performing the whole-day prediction of the traffic speed for the elevated highway. In order to learn the temporal features of traffic speed data in a hierarchical way, an improved convolutional neural network (CNN) with asymmetric kernels is proposed. Speed data are collected from loop detectors of Yan'an elevated highway of Shanghai. To test the performance of the presented method, we compare it with some conventional approaches of traffic speed estimation. Experimental results demonstrate that our method outperforms all of them.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
