• Title: On the road to more accurate mobile cellular traffic predictions
• Authors: Natalia Vassileva Vesselinova
• Abstract summary: We employ highway flow and average speed variables together with a cellular network traffic metric to predict the short-term future load on a cell. This is in sharp contrast to prior art that mainly studies urban scenarios. The learning structure can be used at a cell or edge level, and can find application in both federated and centralised learning.

• Abstract: The main contribution reported in the paper is a novel paradigm through which mobile cellular traffic forecasting is made substantially more accurate. Specifically, by incorporating freely available road metrics we characterise the data generation process and spatial dependencies. Therefore, this provides a means for improving the forecasting estimates. We employ highway flow and average speed variables together with a cellular network traffic metric in a light learning structure to predict the short-term future load on a cell covering a segment of a highway. This is in sharp contrast to prior art that mainly studies urban scenarios (with pedestrian and limited vehicular speeds) and develops machine learning approaches that use exclusively network metrics and meta information to make mid-term and long-term predictions. The learning structure can be used at a cell or edge level, and can find application in both federated and centralised learning.

  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.
