• Abstract: This study focuses on the challenge of predicting network traffic within complex topological environments. It introduces a spatiotemporal modeling approach that integrates Graph Convolutional Networks (GCN) with Gated Recurrent Units (GRU). The GCN component captures spatial dependencies among network nodes, while the GRU component models the temporal evolution of traffic data. This combination allows for precise forecasting of future traffic patterns. The effectiveness of the proposed model is validated through comprehensive experiments on the real-world Abilene network traffic dataset. The model is benchmarked against several popular deep learning methods. Furthermore, a set of ablation experiments is conducted to examine the influence of various components on performance, including changes in the number of graph convolution layers, different temporal modeling strategies, and methods for constructing the adjacency matrix. Results indicate that the proposed approach achieves superior performance across multiple metrics, demonstrating robust stability and strong generalization capabilities in complex network traffic forecasting scenarios.

  Traffic flow forecasting aims to predict future traffic conditions on the basis of networks and traffic conditions in the past. The problem is typically solved by modeling complex-temporal correlations in traffic data using far-temporal neural networks (GNNs) Existing methods follow the paradigm of message passing that aggregates neighborhood information linearly. In this paper, we propose a model named Dynamic Hyper Structure Learning (DyHSL) for traffic flow prediction.
