Popis: Bus arrival time prediction not only provides convenience for passengers, but also helps to improve the efficiency of intelligent transportation system. Unfortunately, the low precision of bus-mounted GPS system, lack of real-time traffic information and poor performance of prediction model lead to low estimation accuracy - greatly influence bus service performance. Hence, in this paper, a GPS calibration method is put forward, while projection rules of specific road shapes are discussed. Moreover, two traffic factors, travel factor and dwelling factor, are defined to express real-time traffic state. Then, considering both historic data and real-time traffic condition, a hybrid dynamic BAT prediction factor, which achieves accuracy enhancement by taking into account traffic flow evaluation results and GPS position calibration, is defined. A LSTM training model is construct to realize BAT prediction. Experiment results demonstrate that our technique can provide a higher level of accuracy compared to methods based on traditional time-of-arrival techniques, especially in the accuracy of multi-stops BAT prediction.
