Traffic Speed Prediction Device And Method Therefor

A traffic speed prediction apparatus comprising:

• a communication device configured to receive probe data from a probe vehicle driving on a road;
• a storage configured to store the probe data and algorithms for predicting a traffic speed;
• and
• at least one processor coupled to the communication device and the storage,
• wherein the at least one processor is configured to:
• predict, based on traffic speed data, traffic volume data, and congestion data, a traffic speed on the road, wherein the traffic speed data, the traffic volume data, and the congestion data are based on the probe data;
• and
• obtain the congestion data by:
• generating a target road network comprising a target collection section corresponding to a location from which the probe data is collected;
• and
• determining a congestion matrix of the target road network.
