• Abstract: We present a multi-source traffic dataset derived from Automatic Vehicle Identification (AVI) recordings in Padua, Italy, spanning from February 2026 to April 2026. The dataset combines traffic volume time series, aggregated at 10-minute intervals, with time-varying trajectory-based flow statistics including transition probability matrices, average travel times, and flow residuals. To enrich the traffic measurements with urban contextual information, we integrate Points Of Interests (POIs), demographic data, meteorological variables, and road infrastructure data. All components are accessible through a Python class that loads temporal and contextual data exploiting a spatio-temporal graph representation. Validation analyses confirm that the dataset captures expected traffic patterns, such as morning and evening rush hours, as well as weekdays vs. weekend days traffic routines.

  Traditional traffic prediction methods rely on historical traffic data to predict traffic trends.

  This paper leverages macroscopic models and multi-source data collected from automatic traffic counters and probe vehicles to accurately estimate traffic flow and travel time in links where these measurements are unavailable. Because MaTE is grounded in macroscopic flow theory, all parameters and variables are interpretable. Experiments on synthetic data show that the model can accurately estimate travel time and traffic flow in out-of-sample links.
