Dynamic Graph Convolution Network with Spatio-Temporal Attention Fusion for Traffic Flow Prediction
share
Accurate and real-time traffic state prediction is of great practical importance for urban traffic control and web mapping services (e.g. Google Maps). With the support of massive data, deep learning methods have shown their powerful capability in capturing the complex spatio-temporal patterns of road networks. However, existing approaches use independent components to model temporal and spatial dependencies and thus ignore the heterogeneous characteristics of traffic flow that vary with time and space. In this paper, we propose a novel dynamic graph convolution network with spatio-temporal attention fusion. The method not only captures local spatio-temporal information that changes over time, but also comprehensively models long-distance and multi-scale spatio-temporal patterns based on the fusion mechanism of temporal and spatial attention. This design idea can greatly improve the spatio-temporal perception of the model. We conduct extensive experiments in 4 real-world datasets to demonstrate that our model achieves state-of-the-art performance compared to 22 baseline models.
