Abstract
Although weather, traffic mix and speed variability across lanes are largely considered as significant determinants of traffic flow characteristics on freeways, they have not been incorporated into short-term traffic forecasting models. We evaluate the effects of weather and traffic mix on the predictability of traffic speed using several vector autoregressive moving average models with exogenous variables. Results indicate that including exogenous variables in the forecasting models only marginally improves their prediction performance, while modeling innovations such as Vector and Bayesian estimation improves the models significantly.
