TL;DRAbstract

Abstract — In this paper, an examination of the effect of including rainfall inputs in the forecasting of daily vehicular traffic volumes is undertaken. A case study is carried out at a busy intersection in Dublin city to examine if any reduction in forecasting error can be obtained by the incorporation of rainfall inputs. This paper also demonstrates the value of incorporating lessons learned from linear time series modelling to the non-linear analysis undertaken.
