• Abstract: Accurate predictions of base stations' traffic load are essential to mobile cellular operators and their users as they support the efficient use of network resources and sustain smart cities and roads. Traditionally, cellular network time-series have been considered for this prediction task. More recently, exogenous factors such as points of presence and other environmental knowledge have been introduced to facilitate cellular traffic forecasting. In this study, we focus on smart roads and explore road traffic measures to model the processes underlying cellular traffic generation with the goal to improve prediction performance. Comprehensive experiments demonstrate that by employing road flow and speed, in addition to cellular network metrics, cellular load prediction errors can be reduced by as much as 56.5 %.

  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 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.

  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.
