• Abstract: Real-time what-if traffic prediction is crucial for decision making in intelligent traffic management and control. Although current deep learning methods demonstrate significant advantages in traffic prediction, they are powerless in what-if traffic prediction due to their nature of correla-tion-based. Here, we present a simple deep learning framework called TraffNet that learns the mechanisms of traffic generation for what-if pre-diction from vehicle trajectory data. First, we use a heterogeneous graph to represent the road network, allowing the model to incorporate causal features of traffic flows, such as Origin-Destination (OD) demands and routes. Next, we propose a method for learning segment representations, which models the process of assigning OD demands onto the road network. The learned segment represen-tations effectively encapsulate the intricate causes of traffic generation, facilitating downstream what-if traffic prediction. Finally, we conduct experiments on synthetic datasets to evaluate the effectiveness of TraffNet. The code and datasets of TraffNet is available at https://github.com/iCityLab/TraffNet.

  Traffic data are highly nonlinear and have complex spatial correlations between road nodes. Existing approaches usually use fixed traffic road network topology maps and independent time series modules to capture Spatial-temporal correlations. We propose a new prediction model which captures the spatial dependence of the traffic network through a Graph Attention Network(GAT) and then analyzes the causal relationship of the traffic data.
