Abstract:
Provided is a traffic congestion prediction method which is able to perform a prediction process using floating information with higher accuracy. The traffic congestion prediction method includes: a step of receiving information by a prediction device; a step of predicting a route of each floating car based on the current position information and destination information received; a step of calculating, for the each floating car, a first passing time group which is a set of respective passing times at a plurality of predetermined spots on the route predicted; a step of calculating the number of existing floating cars per link based on the first passing time group, if any of a plurality of floating cars exists on the link at a predetermined time; and a step of calculating a second passing time group by use of the number of existing floating cars and a predetermined calculation technique.

Abstract:
A traffic data prediction device includes an original link traffic data storage unit (103) for storing traffic data per original link as a predetermined road link, an extended link generation unit (104) for generating an extended link from the original links, and an extended link traffic data prediction unit (108) for predicting traffic data per extended link generated in the extended link generation unit (104) by use of traffic data per original link. The extended link generation unit (104) decides the original links for generating the extended link based on data indicating a predictive accuracy of traffic data in a combined link combining the selected original links, and generates the extended link made of the decided original links as elements.
