Abstract
Predicting traffic is certainly one of the greatest challenges facing current traffic engineering research. The work presented here focuses on the prediction of local traffic parameters such as the local mean speed aggregated over short periods such as one minute. For this purpose a new hybrid model comprising an ARIMA1 model and a neural network has been developed and validated with real traffic data. This model has been evaluated and compared with conventional methods of traffic prediction using independent real test data. It was found that the new hybrid model produces more accurate and more reliable results than conventional methods.
