摘要：With the finishing of the construction of the main body of a freeway network, adequately monitoring the traffic status of the network has become an urgent need for both travelers and transportation operators. Various methods are proposed to collect traffic information for this purpose. In this article, a data-driven feature-based learning application is implemented to detect segment traffic status using mobile phone data, building on the practical success of deep learning models in other fields. The traffic status estimation is achieved via the application of a three-level long, short-term memory model. Two phone features are extracted from the raw mobile phone data. A large-scale field experiment was conducted using actual data in Jiangsu, China collected over the “National Holiday Golden Week” of 2014. To evaluate the performance, both precision and recall scores are given along with the overall accuracy. The final results of the large-scale experiment indicate that the proposed application performed well and can be an emerging solution for traffic state monitoring when only limited roadside sensing devices are installed.
