Abstract
Daily Electronic Toll Collection (ETC) traffic flow prediction is one of the fundamental processes in ETC management. The precise prediction of traffic flow provides instructions for transportation hub management solution planning and ETC lane construction. At present, some of studies are proposed in forecasting traffic flow. However, most studies of model presentation are in the form of mathematical expressions, and it is difficult to describe the trend accurately. Therefore, an ETC traffic flow prediction model based on k nearest neighbor searching (k-NN) and Back Propagation (BP) neural network is proposed, which takes the effect of external factors like holiday, the free of highway and weather etc. into consideration. The traffic flow data of highway ETC lane somewhere is used for prediction. The prediction results indicate that the total average absolute relative error is 5.01 %. The accuracy suggests its advantage in traffic flow prediction and on site application.
