Statistical Physics Algorithms for Traffic Reconstruction

Probability 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

Concepts and techniques from statistical physics inspired a new method for traffic prediction. This method is particularly suitable in settings where the only information available is floating car data. We propose a system, based on the Ising model of statistical physics, which both reconstructs and predicts the traffic in real time using a message-passing algorithm.
