New Method of Traffic Flow Forecasting Based on QPSO Strategy for Internet of Vehicles

Abstract

We propose a new method of traffic flow forecasting based on quantum particle swarm optimization strategy (QPSO) for Internet of Vehicles (IOV). Establish a corresponding model based on the characteristics of the traffic flow data. The genetic simulated annealing method is applied to the quantum particle swarm method to obtain the optimized initial cluster center, and is applied to the parameter optimization of the radial basis neural network prediction model. The function approximation of radial basis neural network can be used to obtain the required data. In addition, in order to compare the performance of the methods, a comparison study with other related methods such as QPSO-RBF is also performed. Our method can reduce prediction errors and get better and more stable prediction results.
