• Abstract: The paper develops a method that quantifies the effect of weather conditions on the prediction of bike station counts in the San Francisco Bay Area Bike Share System. The Random Forest technique was used to rank the predictors that were then used to develop a regression model using a guided forward step-wise regression approach. The Bayesian Information Criterion was used in the development and comparison of the various prediction models. We demonstrated that the proposed approach is promising to quantify the effect of various features on a large BSS and on each station in cases of large networks with big data. The results show that the time-of-the-day, temperature, and humidity level (which has not been studied before) are significant count predictors. It also shows that as weather variables are geographic location dependent and thus should be quantified before using them in modeling. Further, findings show that the number of available bikes at station i at time t-1 and time-of-the-day were the most significant variables in estimating the bike counts at station i.

  We design a conceptual fine-grained causal model named TBN Granger Causality. Second, we propose an end-to-end deep generative model called TacSas, which discovers TBN Granger Causality in a generative manner. We test TacSas on climate benchmark ERA5 for climate forecasting and the extreme weather benchmark of NOAA for extreme weather alerts.

Data-driven systems have been trained to forecast future weather by learning from long historical records of past weather. We propose a new approach, training a neural network to predict future weather purely from historical observations.

We find that conditioning on future weather information has a greater impact than considering past traffic conditions.

Due to its wider field of view, we also observe deCNN achieving considerably better performance than regular convolutional neural networks at lead times beyond 5-6 days.
