Abstract

In this paper, we applied multifractal modeling techniques to analyze the traffic data collected from the Beijing Yuquanying. The results indicated that multifractal characteristics obviously exist in the traffic system; the degree of fractality of these traffic data tends to increase as the traffic system becomes congested; the Hölder exponent that measures the local rate of fractality may be used as indicators to predict the presence of the traffic congestion.
