Optimization of Traffic Congestion Management in Smart Cities under Bidirectional Long and Short-Term Memory Model

Abstract

To solve the increasingly serious traffic congestion and reduce traffic pressure, the bidirectional long and short-term memory (BiLSTM) algorithm is adopted to the traffic flow prediction. Firstly, a BiLSTM-based urban road short-term traffic state algorithm network is established based on the collected road traffic flow data, and then the internal memory unit structure of the network is optimized. After training and optimization, it becomes a high-quality prediction model. Then, the experimental simulation verification and prediction performance evaluation are performed. Finally, the data predicted by the BiLSTM algorithm model are compared with the actual data and the data predicted by the long short-term memory (LSTM) algorithm model. Simulation comparison shows that the prediction results of LSTM and BiLSTM are consistent with the actual traffic flow trend, but the data of LSTM deviate greatly from the real situation, and the error is more serious during peak periods. BiLSTM is in good agreement with the real situation during the stationary period and the low peak period, and it is slightly different from the real situation during the peak period, but it can still be used as a reference. In general, the prediction accuracy of the BiLSTM algorithm for traffic flow is relatively high. The comparison of evaluation indicators shows that the coefficient of determination value of BiLSTM is 0.795746 greater than that of LSTM (0.778742), indicating that BiLSTM shows a higher degree of fitting than the LSTM algorithm, that is, the prediction of BiLSTM is more accurate. The mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) value of BiLSTM is 9.718624%, which is less than 9.722147% of LSTM, indicating that the trend predicted by the BiLSTM is more consistent with the actual trend than that of LSTM. The mean absolute error (MAE) value of BiLSTM (105.087415) is smaller than that of LSTM (106.156847), indicating that its actual prediction error is smaller than LSTM. Generally speaking, BiLSTM shows advantages in traffic flow prediction over LSTM. Results of this study play a reliable reference role in the dynamic control, monitoring, and guidance of urban traffic, and congestion management.

Bus-Passenger-Flow Prediction Model Based on WPD, Attention Mechanism, and Bi-LSTM

“…Abduljabbar et al (2021) [36] used the Bi-LSTM model for short-term traffic prediction on three different highways. Zhai et al (2022) [37] utilized the Bi-LSTM model to predict the short-term traffic flow on urban roads, and the prediction experimental results showed that the prediction accuracy of the Bi-LSTM model is higher than that of the single LSTM model. The Bi-LSTM model extracts the forward and backward features of time-series data at the same time, which causes the model to have better prediction results than the traditional LSTM model when dealing with strongly periodic time-series data [38].…”

“…It is worth noting that in recent academic research, the Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory (BILSTM) architecture has garnered Each RSU hosts the "Real-Time Vehicle Speed Calculation" module, which estimates the average vehicle speed as the autonomous vehicle progresses through the managed segments within specific time intervals. It is worth noting that in recent academic research, the Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory (BILSTM) architecture has garnered significant attention for its effectiveness in predicting vehicle traffic flow across various road segments, as highlighted in previous studies [29][30][31][32]. Given the substantial impact of traffic flow patterns on the driving speed of autonomous vehicles, this module utilizes the BILSTM model introduced in [27] to compute the average vehicle speed.…”
