Real-time traffic flow forecasting is of great importance in the development of advanced traffic management systems and advanced traveler information systems. Traffic flow is evaluated using time series, and the Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) model has been commonly used for determining the regression-type relationship between historical and future data. However, the performance of the ARIMA model is limited by the difficulty of capturing nonlinear patterns and the challenges of diagnosing permanent white noises. Hence, a hybrid method of ARIMA-EGARCH-M-GED was developed with the intent to address those limitations. It combines the linear ARIMA model with a nonlinear model of Exponent Generalized Autoregressive Conditional Heteroscedasticity (EGARCH) to capture heteroscedasticity (the variance of random error varying across the data) of traffic flow series. EGARCH in Mean (EGARCH-M), which corrects the expression of conditional variance by connecting the conditional mean directly with the variance, was introduced to better restrain the influence of abnormal data. Moreover, the tail of the generalized error distribution (GED) is better than that of the normal distribution in characterizing the features of time series, especially heteroscedasticity of residual sequences. Data collected from an interstate highway (I-80 in California) with a sampling period of 5 minutes were used to evaluate the performance of the proposed model. The results from the hybrid model were compared with ARIMA, an artificial neural network, and a K-nearest neighbor model. The results showed that the hybrid model outperformed the other methods in terms of accuracy and reliability. Overall, the proposed model performed well in tracking the features of measured data and controlling the impact of abnormal data.
