Criterion and Measurement of Traffic Flow System Complexity: Chaos, Fractal and Complexity

Publication: International Conference on Transportation Engineering 2007

Abstract

In this paper, the analysis on the complexity characteristic of traffic flow system is deepened through introducing characteristic quantities of complexity, such as Lempel-Ziv complexity, statistical complexity, approximate entropy, and combining the criterion methods of chaos & fractal. The Lyapunov index, relevancy dimension and their complexity characteristic quantities of actual traffic flows are calculated. By virtue of the calculation results, some useful conclusions are obtained.
