Deep learning, as one of the methods for acceleration prediction, has shown promising applications in acceleration prediction. However, due to the influence of multiple factors on acceleration, a single data model may not be suitable for various driving scenarios. Therefore, this paper proposes a hybrid approach for vehicle acceleration prediction by combining clustering and deep learning techniques. Based on historical data of vehicle speed, acceleration, and distance to the preceding vehicle, the proposed method first clusters the acceleration patterns of vehicles. Subsequently, different prediction models and parameters are applied to each cluster, aiming to improve the prediction accuracy. By considering the unique characteristics of each cluster, the proposed method can effectively capture the diverse acceleration patterns. Experimental results demonstrate the superiority of the proposed approach in terms of prediction accuracy compared to benchmarks. This paper contributes to the advancement of sensor data processing and artificial intelligence techniques in the field of vehicle acceleration prediction. The proposed hybrid method has the potential to enhance the accuracy and reliability of acceleration prediction, enabling applications in various domains, such as autonomous driving, traffic management, and vehicle control.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s23167253","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,8,18]],"date-time":"2023-08-18T10:28:48Z","timestamp":1692354528000},"page":"7253","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["A Hybrid Model for Vehicle Acceleration Prediction"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"23","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0008-8936-1318","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Haoxuan","family":"Luo","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Electronics and Information Engineering, Sichuan University, Chengdu 610065, China"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0006-9941-7691","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Xiao","family":"Hu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Information Science and Technology, Northeast Normal University, Changchun 130117, China"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1285-6098","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Linyu","family":"Huang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Electronics and Information Engineering, Sichuan University, Chengdu 610065, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,8,18]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Onori, S., Serrao, L., and Rizzoni, G.
