GraphSAGE-based spatial-temporal synchronous traffic forecasting network considering sensorless roads
摘要
Accurate traffic forecasting is vital for the efficient functioning of intelligent transportation systems, facilitating better traffic management and planning. However, existing studies face two major limitations: they fail to simultaneously capture spatial-temporal dependencies and can only predict traffic features for nodes with historical data, leaving nodes without historical data unaddressed. To overcome these limitations, we propose a GraphSAGE-based spatial-temporal synchronous traffic forecasting network considering sensorless roads (GSTSN), which offers two main advantages. First, GSTSN designs a spatial-temporal synchronous graph to integrate the representation of spatial and temporal correlations. Specifically, it forms a spatial compensatory graph by combining a spatial distance graph and a spatial similarity graph, which is then integrated with a temporal causal graph to create the spatial-temporal synchronous graph. Second, GSTSN employs GraphSAGE-based attention and mean aggregation functions tailored for nodes with and without historical data, enabling accurate traffic predictions for both types of nodes simultaneously. Extensive experiments on four real-world datasets, including scenarios with 10% and 20% sensor missing rates, show that GSTSN achieves superior performance compared to the state-of-the-art baselines, confirming its effectiveness and robustness.
