1) model is one of the most widely used methods in settlement prediction
and it is found that the precision is low even defect. In this paper the structure principle of GM (1
1) is analyzed and the defect is pointed out that and α should not be limited as the only know condition when forming the prediction formula. Instead
other data could be used. The average slope is used to calculate instead of constant 0.5. Program MATLAB is used to deal with the tested data and find the optimum and the optimum dimension. An actual example of an expressway is used
and it shows that the new model has satisfactory fitting effects and thus points a novel direction to heighten modeling precision.
