 PROJECT TITLE : TRAFFIC PREDICITION USING MACHINE LEARNING

• Traffic prediction means forecasting the volume and density of traffic flow, usually for the purpose of
managing vehicle movement, reducing congestion, and generating the optimal (least time- or energy-
consuming) route.
OBJECTIVE:
The aim of this project is to show you the time needed for your trip, calculate your ETA,
and create the most optimal route based on road conditions and predicted traffic.
 NEED FOR TRAFFIC PREDICTION
• National/local authorities : Traffic prediction enables authorities to anticipate peak traffic times
and locations. By providing real-time information to drivers and suggesting alternative routes,
authorities can distribute traffic more evenly, reducing congestion in specific areas.
• Logistics companies. Another area of implementation is the logistics industry. Transportation,
delivery, field service, and other businesses have to accurately schedule their operations and create
the most efficient routes. Often, it’s not only related to current trips, but also to activities in the
future. Precise forecasts of road and traffic conditions to avoid congestion are crucial for such
companies’ planning and performance.
REQUIREMENTS FOR THE PROJECT:-
• Data Collection: Collecting data from GPS locations of vehicles and traffic sensors.
• Data Storage and Management: Using relational databases to store collected data.
• Machine Learning and Predictive Modeling: Using machine learning algorithms on the
collected data to get a meaningful prediction.
• Geographic Information System (GIS): Use GIS tools like ArcGIS or QGIS to analyze and
visualize spatial data related to traffic.
• Stream Processing Frameworks: Employ technologies like Apache Kafka or Apache Flink for
processing and analyzing real-time data streams.
• Web Development Technologies: Use HTML, CSS, and JavaScript for building interactive web-
based dashboards.
 MACHINE LEARNING APPROACH
• Machine learning (ML) allows you to create predictive models that consider large masses of
heterogeneous data from different sources. Numerous studies have been conducted on the
application of ML algorithms to forecast road traffic.
• ML algorithms used in traffic prediction are:
1. Random forest
2. k-nearest neighbor
 RANDOM FOREST
• Random Forest is a widely-used supervised machine learning algorithm developed by Leo Breiman and
Adele Cutler. It combines the output of multiple decision trees to reach a single result and is used for
classification and regression problems.
• Advantages:
• Robustness: Random Forest is less prone to overfitting compared to individual decision trees.
• High Accuracy: It often provides high accuracy and is resistant to noise in the data.
• Handles Missing Values: Random Forest can handle missing values in the dataset.
• Challenges:
• Computational Complexity : Training and predicting with Random Forest can be computationally
expensive.
 K-NEAREST NEIGHBOR
• The k-nearest neighbors algorithm, also known as KNN or k-NN, is a non-parametric, supervised learning
classifier that uses proximity to make classifications or predictions about the grouping of an individual data
point. It can be used for either regression or classification problems.
• Advantages:
• Simplicity: KNN is easy to understand and implement.
• No Training Phase: It doesn't require a time-consuming training phase.
• Adaptability: It can adapt to changes in the data during runtime.
• Challenges:
• Computationally Intensive: Calculating distances for all data points can be computationally intensive,
especially for large datasets.
• Sensitive to Outliers: KNN can be sensitive to outliers and noisy data.
