The invention discloses a method for rapidly and accurately forecasting the
travel time of vehicles for passing through road sections, and belongs to the field of intelligent transportation. The method includes the steps of (1) obtaining information of all pass stations and history vehicle information in a time period, (2) obtaining vehicle caching of the starting point pass
station A, (3) judging whether forecasting of the
travel time of the vehicles for traveling from the pass
station A to the pass
station Bi adjacent to the pass station A is completed or not, (4) conducting finding on a vehicle
record with the pass station A as a starting point and the pass station Bi as a
terminal point in a
license number matching mode, (5) calculating the
travel time of the vehicles for traveling from the starting point pass station A to the
terminal point pass station Bi in the
current time period and the prior time period, (6) forecasting the travel time of the vehicles in the next time period with a
Kalman algorithm, (7) calculating a jamming coefficient, and (8) completing the method for detecting and forecasting the travel time. By means of the method, the travel time of the vehicles for passing through the adjacent pass station road sections can be rapidly and accurately forecasted, and the method is suitable for intelligent transportation systems, traffic pass systems,
road traffic management systems, traveler information systems and
traffic flow information detection systems.
