DeepTransport: Learning Spatial-Temporal Dependency for Traffic Condition Forecasting
Predicting traffic conditions has been recently explored as a way to relieve
traffic congestion. Several pioneering approaches have been proposed based on
traffic observations of the target location as well as its adjacent regions,
but they obtain somewhat limited accuracy due to lack of mining road topology.
To address the effect attenuation problem, we propose to take account of the
traffic of surrounding locations(wider than adjacent range). We propose an
end-to-end framework called DeepTransport, in which Convolutional Neural
Networks (CNN) and Recurrent Neural Networks (RNN) are utilized to obtain
spatial-temporal traffic information within a transport network topology. In
addition, attention mechanism is introduced to align spatial and temporal
information. Moreover, we constructed and released a real-world large traffic
condition dataset with 5-minute resolution. Our experiments on this dataset
demonstrate our method captures the complex relationship in temporal and
spatial domain. It significantly outperforms traditional statistical methods
and a state-of-the-art deep learning method
Machine learning for early detection of traffic congestion using public transport traffic data
The purpose of this project is to provide better knowledge of how the bus travel times is affected by congestion and other problems in the urban traffic environment. The main source of data for this study is second-level measurements coming from all buses in the Linköping region showing the location of each vehicle.The main goal of this thesis is to propose, implement, test and optimize a machine learning algorithm based on data collected from regional buses from Sweden so that it is able to perform predictions on the future state of the urban traffic.El objetivo principal de este proyecto es proponer, implementar, probar y optimizar un algoritmo de aprendizaje automático basado en datos recopilados de autobuses regionales de Suecia para que poder realizar predicciones sobre el estado futuro del tráfico urbano.L'objectiu principal d'aquest projecte Ă©s proposar, implementar, provar i optimitzar un algoritme de machine learning basat en dades recollides a partir d'autobusos regionals de Suècia de manera per poder realitzar prediccions sobre l'estat futur del trĂ nsit urbĂ
Big Data Analytics for Network Level Short-Term Travel Time Prediction with Hierarchical LSTM and Attention
The travel time data collected from widespread traffic monitoring sensors
necessitate big data analytic tools for querying, visualization, and
identifying meaningful traffic patterns. This paper utilizes a large-scale
travel time dataset from Caltrans Performance Measurement System (PeMS) system
that is an overflow for traditional data processing and modeling tools. To
overcome the challenges of the massive amount of data, the big data analytic
engines Apache Spark and Apache MXNet are applied for data wrangling and
modeling. Seasonality and autocorrelation were performed to explore and
visualize the trend of time-varying data. Inspired by the success of the
hierarchical architecture for many Artificial Intelligent (AI) tasks, we
consolidate the cell and hidden states passed from low-level to the high-level
LSTM with an attention pooling similar to how the human perception system
operates. The designed hierarchical LSTM model can consider the dependencies at
different time scales to capture the spatial-temporal correlations of
network-level travel time. Another self-attention module is then devised to
connect LSTM extracted features to the fully connected layers, predicting
travel time for all corridors instead of a single link/route. The comparison
results show that the Hierarchical LSTM with Attention (HierLSTMat) model gives
the best prediction results at 30-minute and 45-min horizons and can
successfully forecast unusual congestion. The efficiency gained from big data
analytic tools was evaluated by comparing them with popular data science and
deep learning frameworks
