It’s very important for the traffic flow theory, the traffic management and control, and the programming and design of roads to master the law of speed. And the most intuitive form is the speed distribution to describe the law. Based on the maximum entropy principle, this paper proposes a model which can generate the speed distribution curves only with the observed date. And the availability of this method has been proved by the example analysis. The fact has also been found that fitting with maximum entropy distribution is better than with normal distribution in peak hour and is worse than it in off peak hour, but the difference is not great. This model does not need assumptions. Moreover it has a simple calculation and a strong practicability. So this paper makes a contribution to the study of the speed distribution.

The maximum entropy principle is used to model uncertainty by a maximum entropy distribution, subject to some appropriate linear constraints. We give an entropy concentration theorem (whose demonstration is based on large deviation techniques) which is a mathematical justification of this statistical modelling principle. Then we indicate how it can be used in artificial intelligence, and how relevant prior knowledge is provided by some classical descriptive statistical methods. It appears furthermore that the maximum entropy principle yields to a natural binding between descriptive methods and some statistical structures.
