Description
Summary:Congestion occurs in densely populated areas, where road capacity is insufficient to accommodate the demands of trips. Congestion is also a leading traffic issue all around the world. Therefore, the management of traffic flow intensity is crucial to combat the persistent congestion issues. With the presence of big data generated on traffic flow, machine learning has arisen as a promising avenue for addressing engineering challenges, particularly in the civil industry. This study aims to establish a machine-learning based prediction model that can predict traffic flow in the Central Business District (CBD) area in Singapore. Results from this research demonstrated that the machine learning algorithms, trained by past traffic flow data, can reasonably predict future traffic flow, and provide valuable insights for future development.
