Abstract
En 中文
The development of machine learning models and algorithms for many communication network optimization problems has generated a huge need for realistic traffic data generators, as real-world traffic datasets remain very few, especially compared to their size. We therefore propose a novel traffic generation framework based on the Maximum Entropy Principle (MEP). It explicitly incorporates empirical statistical constraints, ensuring generated traffic closely mirrors the complex patterns found in real-world data. Using vehicle traffic datasets of the City of Calgary, we explore multiple distributional assumptions, namely Gaussian, exponential, and mixture models. Our results demonstrate that the Gaussian and the Gaussian mixture models consistently achieve superior performance, capturing diverse temporal fluctuations and intricate statistical behaviors inherent in urban vehicle traffic. This study not only highlights the effectiveness and flexibility of MEP-based models but also establishes them as robust, interpretable, and data-efficient alternatives to existing generative methods in traffic synthesis.
