用轻量随机森林模型,基于稀疏路网数据预测城市低拥堵行车时间。

Learning Minimally-Congested Drive Times from Sparse Open Networks: A Lightweight RF-Based Estimator for Urban Roadway Operations

  • 融合开放路网与稀疏交通特征,构建随机森林回归器修正最短路径时间偏差。
  • 在测试集上各项误差指标均显著优于基线,低拥堵下平均偏差接近零。
  • 适合缺乏拥堵数据的规划场景,计算资源少且结果可解释,便于工程落地。

准确的道路通行时间预测是交通系统分析的基础,但现有方法或依赖高成本拥堵模型,或采用过于简化的启发式策略,限制了其在工程实践中的可扩展性。本文提出一种轻量级估算器,用于预测低拥堵状态下的汽车通行时间。该方法结合志愿者地理数据构建可行驶路网,通过Dijkstra算法求解最小化边遍历时间的路径,并提取信号灯、停车、交叉口、让行、环岛等稀疏运行特征(左转/右转/微调/掉头次数),在有限高质量参考时间数据上训练随机森林回归集成模型,以泛化预测能力。在城市测试平台上验证表明,该方法在均方误差、平均绝对误差、平均百分比误差、相对偏差和解释方差等指标上均显著优于最短路径时间基线,且在低拥堵条件下无显著均值偏差,五折交叉验证稳定性高,未出现过拟合。该方法为交通工程提供了实用折中方案:保持大尺度点对点精度,降低资源消耗,在拥堵数据不可获取或成本过高时仍可提供可信性能估计,适用于规划、可达性分析与网络性能评估等低交通负荷场景。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Accurate roadway travel-time prediction is foundational to transportation systems analysis, yet widespread reliance on either data-intensive congestion models or overly naïve heuristics limits scalability and practical adoption in engineering workflows. This paper develops a lightweight estimator for minimally-congested car travel times that integrates open road-network data, speed constraints, and sparse control/turn features within a random forest framework to correct bias from shortest-path traversal-time baselines. Using an urban testbed, the pipeline: (i) constructs drivable networks from volunteered geographic data; (ii) solves Dijkstra routes minimizing edge traversal time; (iii) derives sparse operational features (signals, stops, crossings, yield, roundabouts; left/right/slight/U-turn counts); and (iv) trains a regression ensemble on limited high-quality reference times to generalize predictions beyond the training set. Out-of-sample evaluation demonstrates marked improvements over traversal-time baselines across mean absolute error, mean absolute percentage error, mean squared error, relative bias, and explained variance, with no significant mean bias under minimally congested conditions and consistent k-fold stability indicating negligible overfitting. The resulting approach offers a practical middle ground for transportation engineering: it preserves point-to-point fidelity at metropolitan scale, reduces resource requirements, and supplies defensible performance estimates where congestion feeds are inaccessible or cost-prohibitive, supporting planning, accessibility, and network performance applications under low-traffic operating regimes.
