With the development of information technology, massive traffic data-driven short-term traffic situation analysis of urban road networks has become a research hotspot in urban traffic management. Accurate vehicle trajectory and traffic flow prediction can provide technical support for vehicle path planning and road congestion warning. Unlike most studies that use GPS data to predict vehicle trajectories, this paper combines the broad coverage, high reliability, and lighter weight of traffic checkpoint data to propose a method that uses trajectory prediction technology to forecast the traffic flow in urban road networks accurately.

However, little research has been done to install the millimeter-wave radar on the top of a road for detecting road traffic flow at a downward looking direction. In this paper, the vehicle parameters, including the distance, angle and radar cross-section energy, are collected by practical experiments in the aforementioned application scenario.
