Question
Transportation prediction
Answer
Transportation prediction
The transportation prediction subsystem providestraffic prediction capabilities for transportation authorities leveragingtraffic data collected by the Traffic Information Hub. Unlike thecurrent and historical traffic data management subsystems the transportation prediction feature is a separatelyinstalled component that is optional to deploy on top of the IBM? Traffic Information Hub.
The feature provides traffic prediction using current and historicaltraffic data collected and stored by the IBM Traffic Information Hub including:
- Geographical visibility of predicted traffic levels at presetpoints (510153045 60 minutes) from the current time
- Listed view of the details related to the predicted traffic levelsat preset points (510153045 60 minutes) from the currenttime
- Executive reports for traffic prediction based on speed and volume
- Accuracy reports analyzing traffic prediction data generated bythe system
The transportation prediction featureperforms traffic prediction calculations that are used as input forreal-time prediction and generates predicted information for an hourfrom the current time.
Traffic data collected by traffic subsystemsis used to perform estimate and mean calculation and also to triggerand monitor calculations. The transportation prediction feature processestraffic data and provides predicted information. The traffic predictionbased on speed and volume and the accuracy reports help transportauthorities and departments ensure smooth traffic flow by reroutingtraffic to avoid traffic congestion.
The following table describesthe optional transportation prediction componentof the IBM Traffic Information Hub.
| Feature | Provides |
|---|---|
| Traffic prediction visualization | Processes and a graphical user interface todisplay the predicted traffic levels for an hour from the currenttime. Predicted traffic information is available in the map andalso listed in the Operator: Traffic view.This portal page provides an operational view of the traffic situation. |
| Traffic prediction reports | A graphical user interface to analyze and displaythe traffic reports for prediction based on speed and volume Predictedtraffic reports are available in the Operator: Traffic view.This portal page provides an operational view of the traffic situation. |
| Accuracy reports | A graphical user interface to analyze and displaythe accuracy reports for the predicted traffic information. Accuracyreports are available in the Operator: Traffic view.This portal page provides an operational view of the traffic situation. |
| Administrative and operational interfaces | A browser-based graphical user interface featuringan administration view to facilitate traffic prediction. The interfacealso includes role-based administrative features providing the capabilityto configure traffic prediction settings so that it can correctlyoperate within a particular customer environment. The IT Administratorhas the permission to configure the settings for the traffic predictioncalculations in the Administration viewof the solution interface. |
REST services providing outbound subscriptionand publishing capabilities to retrieve traffic prediction data fromthe solution into XML format. |
