• Abstract: Traffic prediction is a flourishing research field due to its importance in human mobility in the urban space. Despite this, existing studies only focus on short-term prediction of up to few hours in advance, with most being up to one hour only. Long-term traffic prediction can enable more comprehensive, informed, and proactive measures against traffic congestion and is therefore an important task to explore. In this paper, we explore the task of long-term traffic prediction; where we predict traffic up to 24 hours in advance. We note the weaknesses of existing models--which are based on recurrent structures--for long-term traffic prediction and propose a modified Transformer model ``TrafFormer". Experiments comparing our model with existing hybrid neural network models show the superiority of our model.

  Uncertainty quantification (UQ) methods provide an approach to induce probabilistic reasoning. We investigate their application to a large-scale image-based traffic dataset spanning multiple cities. We find that our approach can capture both temporal and spatial effects on traffic behaviour in a representative case study for the city of Moscow.

  A self-driving vehicle (SDV) must be able to perceive its surroundings and predict the future behavior of other traffic participants. Existing works either perform object detection followed by trajectory of the detected objects, or predict dense occupancy and flow grids for the whole scene. This motivates our unified approach to perception and future prediction that implicitly represents occupancy and flow over time with a single neural network.

  We propose a flexible and comprehensive framework to predict physical-aware long-term traffic conditions for public users and transportation agencies. A correlation study and a linear regression model were first implemented to evaluate the significance of the correlation between two time-series data, traffic intensity and Twitter data intensity. Two time-series data were then fed into our proposed social-aware framework, Traffic-Twitter Transformer, which integrated Nature Language representations into time-series records for long-term traffic prediction.

  arterial traffic prediction plays a crucial role in the development of modern intelligent transportation systems. Many existing studies on arterial traffic prediction only consider temporal measurements of flow and occupancy from loop sensors and neglect the rich spatial relationships between upstream and downstream detectors. We fill this gap by enhancing a deep learning approach, Diffusion Convolutional Recurrent Neural Network, with spatial information generated from signal timing plans at targeted intersections.

  This paper presents two new spatial-temporal approaches for building accurate short-term prediction along a popular motorway in Sydney. The methods are built on proximity-based approaches, denoted backtracking and proximity, which uses the most recent and closest traffic flow information for each of the target counting stations along the motorway. The results indicate that for short-term predictions (less than 10 minutes into the future), the proposed graph-based approaches outperform state-of-the-art deep learning models.
