Application of locally weighted regression‐based approach in correcting erroneous individual vehicle speed data

Abstract

SUMMARYBecause of the quality of raw data being an essential feature in determining the reliability of traffic information, an effective detection and correction of outliers in raw field-collected traffic data has been an interest for many researchers. Global positioning systems (GPS)-based traffic surveillance systems are capable of producing individual vehicle speeds that are vital for transportation researchers and practitioners in traffic management and information strategies. This study proposes a locally weighted regression (LWR)-based filtering method for individual vehicle speed data. To fully and systematically evaluate this proposed method, a technique to generate synthetic outliers and two approaches to inject synthetic outliers are presented. Parameters that affect the smoothing performance associated with LWR are devised and applied to obtain a more robust and reliable data correction method. For a comprehensive performance evaluation of the developed LWR method, comparisons to exponential smoothing (ES) and autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) methods were conducted. Because the LWR-based filtering method outperformed both the ES and ARIMA methods, this study showed its useful benefits in filtering individual vehicle speed data.

Investigating the Sources of Formaldehyde and Corresponding Photochemical Indications at a Suburb Site in Shanghai From MAX‐DOAS Measurements

“…In order to decline the influence of cloud in the atmosphere, the retrieved O 4 DSCDs were filtered by a locally weighted regression smoothing filter (LOWESS) (Chan et al., 2019; Rim et al., 2016). This filter operated with a regression smoothing window of 2 h to the time series of O 4 DSCDs at each elevation angle.…”

Trend analysis of traffic management based on literature data mining and graph analysis tools

“…Meanwhile, prediction for congestion state [87,88], driving time [89], and accident duration [90] were also studied. Moreover, another research topic is to apply more intelligent and efficient algorithms, such as regression methods [91], hidden Markov models [92], support vector machines [93] to achieve more accurate prediction performance [94].…”

Application of Logical Regression Function Model in Credit Business of Commercial Banks

“…Assef et al used artificial neural networks (ANNS), especially multi-layer perceptrons (MLP) and radial basis functions (RBF), as well as Logistic regression (LR) statistical models to analyse the bank credit status of legal persons (non-default, default and temporary default) to assist analysts in this field in making decisions [5]. Teles et al compared the efficiency of logistic regression and linear regression in predicting whether the credit business needs recovery [6]. Jun et al made use of bank business data and machine learning model to realie the credit anti-fraud prediction model based on a logistic regression algorithm [7].…”
