摘要: Vehicle headways play a role of paramount importance in many traffic engineering applications. They provide operators transportation systems with information for selecting and designing control strategies safety measures. Their will undoubtedly even increase particularly the intelligent field. Modeling vehicle headways, as probability distribution function or time series, has been focus large number research projects, most which dealt statistical approach. This paper presents an Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) alternative to classical techniques. Two networks were designed: one series problem other general function. Simulation two data gathered from nine different freeways Riyadh revealed that accurate models can be achieved. The network was trained all mixed up. However, it able reproduce behavior any single freeway
