Travel time prediction plays a significant role in the traffic data analysis field as it helps in route planning and reducing traffic congestion. In this study, an XGBoost model is employed to predict freeway travel time using probe vehicle data. The effects of different parameters on model performance are investigated and discussed. The optimized model outputs are then compared with another well-known model (i.e., Gradient Boosting model). The comparison results indicate that the XGBoost model has considerable advantages in terms of both prediction accuracy and efficiency. The developed model and analysis results can greatly help the decision makers plan, operate, and manage a more efficient highway system.

Due to the increasing traffic volume in metropolitan areas, short-term travel time prediction (TTP) can be an important and useful tool for both travelers and traffic management. Accurate and reliable short-term travel time prediction can greatly help vehicle routing and congestion mitigation. One of the most challenging tasks in TTP is developing and selecting the most appropriate prediction algorithm using the available data. In this study, the travel time data was provided and collected from the Regional Integrated Transportation Information System (RITIS). Then, the travel times were predicted for short horizons (ranging from 15 to 60 min) on the selected freeway corridors by applying four different machine learning algorithms, which are Decision Trees (DT), Random Forest (RF), Extreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost), and Long Short-Term Memory neural network (LSTM). Many spatial and temporal characteristics that may affect travel time were used when developing the models. The performance of prediction accuracy and reliability are compared. Numerical results suggest that RF can achieve a better prediction performance result than any of the other methods not only in accuracy but also with stability.
