Abstract

Recent work has shown that the mathematics of multifractal can be used to provide a quantitative signature in many fields. In this paper, we investigate the traffic time series for volume data observed on Guangshen highway. Firstly, we find there exists a multifractal behavior in the traffic data, and the data on both work days and rest days have similar multifractality. Then, we study the singularity of these data. A singularity exponent method based on multifractal theory is proposed to extract or classify singular data, which is more precise and clear than the Hölder exponent method.
