Construction of Short-Term Traffic Flow Prediction Model Based on IoT and Deep Learning Algorithms

On a global scale, traffic problems are an essential factor affecting urban operations, particularly challenging the frequent occurrence of traffic congestion and accidents. The solution to the problem requires real-time and accurate prediction of traffic flow. This article mainly explores the application of the Internet of Things and deep learning in traffic flow prediction, aiming to solve the problem where existing methods cannot meet the requirements of real-time and accuracy. IoT devices, such as road sensors and in-vehicle GPS devices, which provides rich information for traffic flow prediction. With the ability of deep learning, it can not only learn and abstract a large amount of complex traffic data but also handle traffic flow prediction tasks in various complex situations. During the model construction process, the complexity of the road network was fully considered, practical algorithms were designed to fuse multi-source data, and the structure of the model was optimized to meet the needs of real-time prediction. The experimental results show that the absolute error of the test results is generally less than 6km/h, which can better reflect the traffic speed of the road section in the future.
