A review of travel and arrival-time prediction methods on road networks: classification, challenges and opportunities

Abstract

Transportation plays a key role in today’s economy. Hence, intelligent transportation systems have attracted a great deal of attention among research communities. There are a few review papers in this area. Most of them focus only on travel time prediction. Furthermore, these papers do not include recent research. To address these shortcomings, this study aims to examine the research on the arrival and travel time prediction on road-based on recently published articles. More specifically, this paper aims to (i) offer an extensive literature review of the field, provide a complete taxonomy of the existing methods, identify key challenges and limitations associated with the techniques; (ii) present various evaluation metrics, influence factors, exploited dataset as well as describe essential concepts based on a detailed analysis of the recent literature sources; (iii) provide significant information to researchers and transportation applications developer. As a result of a rigorous selection process and a comprehensive analysis, the findings provide a holistic picture of open issues and several important observations that can be considered as feasible opportunities for future research directions.

Travel time prediction for an intelligent transportation system based on a data-driven feature selection method considering temporal correlation

“…Abdi and Amrit [31] in a review paper on prediction travel time and arrival time, gathered information on previous studies including input features. However, unity in the features is not observed amongst the studies.…”

Bayesian Modelling of Travel Times on the Example of Food Delivery: Part 2 - Model Creation and Handling Uncertainty

“…To address the challenge of insufficient real-world data, companies employ a diverse array of statistical and machine learning techniques to infer delivery times. Among these methods, neural networks, including Deep Neural Networks (DNNs), Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs), and Long Short-Term Memory networks (LSTMs), are prominently utilized [4]. Additionally, specialized expert systems tailored to specific cities or geographic regions are commonly developed.…”

A new approach to COVID-19 data mining: A deep spatial–temporal prediction model based on tree structure for traffic revitalization index

“…The prediction research of TRI can be regarded as a branch of traffic prediction, and there are two main approaches to solve this problem [11] . The first approach is to solve short-term traffic prediction problems based on the research of traditional mathematical statistics [12] , such as time series models, parametric regression models [13] , etc.…”
