Abstract: The vehicles travel time was divided into multiple components, and the trajectories of vehicles driving in steady mode were classified and their travel times were considered respectively. A new dynamic link travel time model was proposed. This new model is simple and can be applied to forecast dynamic link travel time in real traffic network. An example of the analysis shows that, the link travel time is not only simply an increasing function of the traffic flow, but also affected by both the entry time and the signal control scheme.
