A Transferable Intersection Reconstruction Network for Traffic Speed Prediction
Traffic speed prediction is the key to many valuable applications, and it is
also a challenging task because of its various influencing factors. Recent work
attempts to obtain more information through various hybrid models, thereby
improving the prediction accuracy. However, the spatial information acquisition
schemes of these methods have two-level differentiation problems. Either the
modeling is simple but contains little spatial information, or the modeling is
complete but lacks flexibility. In order to introduce more spatial information
on the basis of ensuring flexibility, this paper proposes IRNet (Transferable
Intersection Reconstruction Network). First, this paper reconstructs the
intersection into a virtual intersection with the same structure, which
simplifies the topology of the road network. Then, the spatial information is
subdivided into intersection information and sequence information of traffic
flow direction, and spatiotemporal features are obtained through various
models. Third, a self-attention mechanism is used to fuse spatiotemporal
features for prediction. In the comparison experiment with the baseline, not
only the prediction effect, but also the transfer performance has obvious
advantages.Comment: 14 pages, 12 figure
Spatial-Temporal Feature Extraction and Evaluation Network for Citywide Traffic Condition Prediction
Traffic prediction plays an important role in the realization of traffic
control and scheduling tasks in intelligent transportation systems. With the
diversification of data sources, reasonably using rich traffic data to model
the complex spatial-temporal dependence and nonlinear characteristics in
traffic flow are the key challenge for intelligent transportation system. In
addition, clearly evaluating the importance of spatial-temporal features
extracted from different data becomes a challenge. A Double Layer - Spatial
Temporal Feature Extraction and Evaluation (DL-STFEE) model is proposed. The
lower layer of DL-STFEE is spatial-temporal feature extraction layer. The
spatial and temporal features in traffic data are extracted by multi-graph
graph convolution and attention mechanism, and different combinations of
spatial and temporal features are generated. The upper layer of DL-STFEE is the
spatial-temporal feature evaluation layer. Through the attention score matrix
generated by the high-dimensional self-attention mechanism, the
spatial-temporal features combinations are fused and evaluated, so as to get
the impact of different combinations on prediction effect. Three sets of
experiments are performed on actual traffic datasets to show that DL-STFEE can
effectively capture the spatial-temporal features and evaluate the importance
of different spatial-temporal feature combinations.Comment: 39 pages, 14 figures, 5 table
Progress and summary of reinforcement learning on energy management of MPS-EV
The high emission and low energy efficiency caused by internal combustion
engines (ICE) have become unacceptable under environmental regulations and the
energy crisis. As a promising alternative solution, multi-power source electric
vehicles (MPS-EVs) introduce different clean energy systems to improve
powertrain efficiency. The energy management strategy (EMS) is a critical
technology for MPS-EVs to maximize efficiency, fuel economy, and range.
Reinforcement learning (RL) has become an effective methodology for the
development of EMS. RL has received continuous attention and research, but
there is still a lack of systematic analysis of the design elements of RL-based
EMS. To this end, this paper presents an in-depth analysis of the current
research on RL-based EMS (RL-EMS) and summarizes the design elements of
RL-based EMS. This paper first summarizes the previous applications of RL in
EMS from five aspects: algorithm, perception scheme, decision scheme, reward
function, and innovative training method. The contribution of advanced
algorithms to the training effect is shown, the perception and control schemes
in the literature are analyzed in detail, different reward function settings
are classified, and innovative training methods with their roles are
elaborated. Finally, by comparing the development routes of RL and RL-EMS, this
paper identifies the gap between advanced RL solutions and existing RL-EMS.
Finally, this paper suggests potential development directions for implementing
advanced artificial intelligence (AI) solutions in EMS
