Application of Artificial Intelligence Techniques to Traffic Prediction and Route Planning, the vision of TIMON project

Abstract

TIMON is an European research project under the Horizon 2020 programme. The main objective of
this project is to provide real-time services through a web based platform and a mobile APP for drivers,
Vulnerable Road Users (VRUs) and businesses. These services will contribute to increasing drivers
and VRUs assistance and safety. To provide these services, one of the core technologies developed
inside TIMON will be the design and development of Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques for traffic
prediction and route planning. The DeustoTech-Mobility research group is in charge of this part of the
project. The objective of this technical paper is to describe the approach followed in TIMON to
develop traffic congestion prediction and route planning services based on AI techniques and the
progress done so far. Additionally, the deployment and the result obtained in the first test done is also
detailed in this study.
