Abstract

Single-regime and multi-regime regressions are early models used to calibrate the relationships among traffic variables, i.e., speed, density, and flow. Recent advancements in computational power have enabled the development of non-parametric models based on machine learning, significantly enhancing the estimation accuracy of these relationships. However, using non-parametric assumptions often limits the interpretability of the fitted models. This study aims to enhance a non-parametric model, particularly the Gaussian Process Regression (GPR), by integrating it with the two-regime (TR) model to reduce estimation bias and improve model interpretability. The integrated TR and GPR (ITR + GPR) model reduced estimation bias, especially in extreme regions of the occupancy-speed relationship, such as in areas with low and high speeds. Furthermore, the study showcased the application of the proposed framework in clustering congested and free-flow regimes using the calibrated membership probabilities. The results highlight the potential of the integrated model in accurately capturing complex traffic data characteristics while providing improved interpretability.
