Abstract

En 中文
Traffic control and management applications require the full realization of traffic flow data. Frequently, such data are acquired by traffic sensors with two issues: it is not practicable or even possible to place traffic sensors on every link in a network; sensors do not provide direct information about origin-destination (O-D) demand flows. Therefore, it is imperative to locate the best places to deploy traffic sensors and then augment the knowledge obtained from this link flow sample to predict the entire traffic flow of the network. This article provides a resilient deep learning (DL) architecture combined with a global sensitivity analysis tool to solve O-D estimation and sensor location problems simultaneously. The proposed DL architecture is based on the stacked sparse autoencoder (SAE) model for accurately estimating the entire O-D flows of the network using link flows, thus reversing the conventional traffic assignment problem. The SAE model extracts traffic flow characteristics and derives a meaningful relationship between traffic flow data and network topology. To train the proposed DL architecture, synthetic link flow data were created randomly from the historical demand data of the network. Finally, a global sensitivity analysis was implemented to prioritize the importance of each link in the O-D estimation step to solve the sensor location problem. Two networks of different sizes were used to validate the performance of the model. The efficiency of the proposed method for solving the combination of traffic flow estimation and sensor location problems was confirmed from a low root-mean-square error with a reduction in the number of link flows required.
