Exploring the relationship between data sample size and traffic flow prediction accuracy by Jianhu Zheng, Minghua Wang, Mingfang Huang

“…Some key findings include: Lower data sample loss rates improve prediction accuracy by capturing traffic flow patterns effectively, while higher loss rates decrease accuracy; an optimal data sample duration of around 7 days balances prediction accuracy and data stability, with longer durations providing more historical data but risking complexity; Broader road segment coverage gives a more comprehensive traffic flow information, but excessive coverage introduces noise and impacts the improvement of prediction accuracy. …”
