A Bidirectional Searching Strategy to Improve Data Quality Based on K-Nearest Neighbor Approach

Traffic data are the basis of traffic control, planning, management, and other implementations. Incomplete traffic data that are not conducive to all aspects of transport research and related activities can have adverse effects such as traffic status identification error and poor control performance...
