For macroscopic models based on hyperbolic conservation laws there exist nowadays many ad-hoc models describing this behavior. Based on real-world car trajectory data we propose a new class of data-driven models with the requirements of being consistent to networked hyperbolic traffic flow models. To this end the new models combine artificial neural networks with a parametrization of the solution space to the half-Riemann problem at the junction. A method for deriving density and flux corresponding to the traffic close to the junction for data-driven models is presented. The models parameter are fitted to obtain suitable boundary conditions for macroscopic first and second-order traffic flow models. The prediction of various models are compared considering also existing coupling rules at the junction. Numerical results imposing the data-fitted coupling models on a traffic network are presented exhibiting accurate predictions of the new models.","url_abs":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2212.08912v2","url_pdf":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/2212.08912v2.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"links_only","authors_date_abstract":"arXiv metadata, CC0 1.0 (https://info.arxiv.org/help/license), from the Kaggle arXiv metadata snapshot of 2026-09-12"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"data-driven-models-for-traffic-flow-at","repo_url":"https://github.com/nklb/datadrivenroadjunctions","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
