Abstract:Under the effect of other external variables, the fluctuation rule of pavement temperature with time was excavated in the future. Based on the historical data of a traffic meteorological monitoring station, the main affecting factors of pavement temperature were determined, and the shortimpending prediction model of pavement temperature time series was established by applying autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) model in order to predict pavement temperature in a short time. The results show that the predicted average accuracy reaches 81.25% and 99.65% respectively within allowable error range of ±0.5 ℃ and ±1.0 ℃ in the next 3 h. The predicted average accuracy and the mean absolute error are up to 92.50% and 0.15 ℃ respectively within allowable error range of ±0.5 ℃ in the next 1 h.
