Summary
The temporal data of the expressway traffic data are complex mixtures of various time scales. The periodic appearances of the congestion, for example, reflect social activities. We need some filters to extract proper fluctuations from the raw data. We employ the method of detrended fluctuation analysis for studying the time sequence of the traffic flow. We find the long-range correlation from 1 hour to 24 hours.
