A statistical method for estimating predictable differences between daily traffic flow profiles (2016)
Journal Article

It is well known that traffic flows in road networks may vary not only within the day but also between days. Existing models including day-to-day variability usually represent all variability as unpredictable fluctuations. In reality, however, some o...
