Single-regime models and multi-regime regressions are some of the early models used to calibrate the relationships among traffic variables, i.e., speed, density, and flow. Recent advancements in computational power have enabled the development of non-parametric models based on machine learning, significantly enhancing the estimation accuracy of these relationships. However, using non-parametric assumptions often limits the interpretability of the fitted models. This study aims to enhance a non-parametric model, particularly the Gaussian Process Regression (GPR), by integrating it with the two-regime (TR) model to reduce estimation bias and improve model interpretability. The integrated TR and GPR (ITR + GPR) model reduced estimation bias, especially in extreme regions of the occupancy-speed relationship, such as in regions with low and high speeds. Furthermore, the study showcased the application of the proposed framework in clustering congested and free-flow regimes using the calibrated membership probabilities. The results highlight the potential of the integrated model in accurately capturing complex traffic data characteristics while providing improved interpretability.
