Traffic information estimating system
First Claim
1. A traffic information estimating system, comprising:
- a past information database for storing past information, which is collected with respect to any road links in a predetermined area;
a current information database for storing current traffic information with respect to any road links in the predetermined area;
base calculating means for calculating a plurality of bases each of which is correlation information for approximating traffic information of each of the road links in the predetermined area by a linear sum using a plurality of the correlation information among the road links based on the past information stored in the past information database, by using a principal component analysis with missing data;
a weighting coefficient calculating means for calculating a weighting coefficients of each of the bases for approximating the current traffic information which is stored in the current information database by linear sum of the bases; and
a traffic information estimating means for calculating the estimated traffic information for a link where the current traffic information is lacking based on the bases calculated by the base calculating means and the weighting coefficient.

Abstract
A traffic information system includes: a past information database for storing past information, which is collected for road links in a predetermined area, of a past mobile object on a road; a current information database for storing running information, which is collected for the road links in the predetermined area, of a current mobile object; link correlation analyzing means in which correlations of traffic information among each road link in the predetermined area are calculated from the past information stored in the past information database, and output as link correlation information among the road links; combination calculating means for calculating weighting information for obtaining the current information as a sum of the link correlation information; and traffic information estimating means for calculating estimated traffic information for a link where the current information is not collected based on the link correlation information and the weighting information.
