Being able to estimate future velocity on a road network has applications from vehicle navigation systems to emergency vehicle dispatching systems. The existence of traffic congestion can severely impact travelers’ travel time and in this paper we explore methods to take it into account in velocity forecasting models. Using a data approach, different traffic observations can be classified into classes with and without congestion. Our research shows that using congestion as an attribute can reduce the prediction error when implementing machine learning models, such as random forest or multi-layer perceptron. Furthermore, training separate models for each class performs better than using congestion as an extra attribute. A methodology for the congestion pattern identification is proposed, based only in the velocity and volume values.
