Modeling and predicting road traffic flow are a critical part of intelligent transport systems (ITSs). Therefore, their accuracy and efficiency have a direct impact on the overall functioning. In this scope, a new approach for predicting the road traffic flow is proposed that combines the Petri nets model with a dynamic estimation of intersection turning movement counts to ensure a more accurate assessment of its performance. Thus, this manuscript extends our work by introducing a new feature, namely turning movement counts, to attain a better prediction of road traffic flow. A simulation study is conducted to get a better understanding of how predictive models perform in the context of estimating turning movements.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jsan8030049","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,9,18]],"date-time":"2019-09-18T04:26:46Z","timestamp":1568780806000},"page":"49","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["An Integrated Turning Movements Estimation to Petri Net Based Road Traffic Modeling"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"8","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6289-5044","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Youness","family":"Riouali","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"AMIPS Research Team, Mohammadia School of Engineers, Mohammed V University in Rabat, Rabat 10000, Morocco"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Laila","family":"Benhlima","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"AMIPS Research Team, Mohammadia School of Engineers, Mohammed V University in Rabat, Rabat 10000, Morocco"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Slimane","family":"Bah","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"AMIPS Research Team, Mohammadia School of Engineers, Mohammed V University in Rabat, Rabat 10000, Morocco"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,9,18]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"Nations, U.
