The IGWM Method for Tabriz Traffic Modeling: Data-Oriented Approach

Abstract

Traffic models play an important role in traffic research and in many traffic applications such as traffic flow prediction, incident detection and traffic control. The traffic problem is one of the challenging issues in large cities nowadays. Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) is one of the suitable methods for solving this problem. ITS for Tabriz as a large city in Iran is very vital. Traffic modeling is the first step to implement the ITS. In this paper an Intelligent Green Wave Model (IGWM) based on data-oriented approach has been introduced for traffic modeling of this city. This model is suitable for green wave based controller systems.
