Traffic Volume Estimation

Traffic-volume estimation framework combining floating car data, traffic cameras, and network-flow analysis.

This project estimates network-wide traffic volumes by combining floating car data, municipal traffic-camera observations, and traffic-flow modeling.

Traffic-volume estimation study network and camera observations

The public preprint frames the problem as a hybrid urban-sensing system: Cellular-transmission-model features, graph neural networks, topology-informed propagation, and ensemble square-root filtering are combined to estimate and forecast traffic volumes across a Manhattan road network.
