Abstract:

In order to enhance the accuracy of traffic flow prediction, a traffic flow prediction method based on multi-source data and spatio-temporal prediction is proposed in this paper with comprehensive considerations of the effects of various factors on traffic flow from the perspectives of external features, time features and spatial features. In terms of external features, the influence of the features of date, weather and point of interest on traffic flow is explored in depth. In terms of time features, a time series prediction framework based on time convolution network is put forward, and the time prediction models are established with the neighbor cycle and daily cycle as base lines respectively. In terms of spatial features, a spatial feature extraction method based on graph representation learning is proposed to fulfill the extraction of the spatial correlation feature between adjacent road network nodes. The results show that compared with various existing prediction methods, the method adopted improves the prediction performance of medium- and long-term traffic flow with high prediction accuracy.
