Un modelo de predicción de tráfico en la ciudad de Ambato

Abstract

This paper reports the results of an initial study about a traffic prediction model, which attempts to complement city decisions by providing a good road planning. The prediction of traffic flows and the identification of intersections with major problems within the road network might enable identifying timely solutions. A support tool in decision-making regarding traffic will reduce costs in time, fuel, pollution, etc. The study uses linear dynamic models to forecast the traffic flow in the city and points where traffic saturation is likely to occur, so that timely actions can be taken to reduce traffic pressure before jams occur.
