The challenge of sustainable mobility in modern cities is becoming increasingly important as urban populations grow and traffic congestion worsens. One of the key strategies to alleviate this congestion is the accurate prediction of traffic conditions, which is essential for navigation and route planning applications. Route travel time prediction is particularly important because it directly affects the efficiency and reliability of transportation systems. The ubiquitous penetration of information and communication technologies has led to the availability of vast amounts of real-time vehicle data, making it a vital resource for Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) applications. This data can be used to predict traffic conditions and improve mobility in cities. Various machine learning and deep learning methods have been explored to solve the traffic forecasting problem, with Long Short Term Memory (LSTM) networks showing significant promise. LSTMs, a type of recurrent neural network (RNN), are specifically designed to process time series data by maintaining long-term dependencies, making them suitable for modeling the sequential nature of traffic data. Unlike traditional machine learning models, such as linear regression, which assume a linear relationship between input features and a target variable (e.g., travel time), LSTMs can capture the complex, non-linear relationships inherent in operational data. This capability allows LSTM to effectively account for various external factors such as weather conditions, traffic accidents, and special events that significantly affect traffic patterns. In addition, LSTMs can adapt to and learn from continuous streams of real-time data, improving their prediction accuracy over time. This adaptability is essential in dynamic urban environments where traffic conditions can change rapidly. Evaluating and comparing these models through various tests can provide insight into their performance. For example, tests can be designed to measure prediction accuracy, computational efficiency, and generalizability to different traffic scenarios. By analyzing how these models perform in reducing prediction loss values, we can better understand the advantages and limitations of each approach
