The paper introduces TransMod, a unified framework for forecasting urban mobility demand across multiple transportation modes. It creates a shared zone-level spatial representation to align systems with different spatial granularities, reducing structural mismatch and distributional shift. TransMod then learns transferable spatio-temporal patterns from data-rich source modes and adapts them to data-scarce target modes, improving forecasting performance when target data is limited.

STHMoE is a Spatio‑Temporal Hypergraph‑Enhanced Mixture of Experts framework designed for urban traffic forecasting. It separates traffic dynamics into frequency‑, time‑, spatial‑, and higher‑order representations, each handled by a prompt‑guided expert built on a partially frozen large language model. The higher‑order expert uses an adaptive hypergraph module to learn evolving spatial structures, while an entropy‑aware router balances expert usage and fuses outputs, achieving competitive results on ten real‑world traffic benchmarks.

The paper presents a GeoAI framework that uses a variational autoencoder and a graph convolutional network to analyze high‑dimensional geospatial data for electric vehicle charging station location selection. By compressing EV usage, land‑use, population, and traffic attributes into a latent space, the model predicts suitable future station sites and identifies 27 new candidates in Bryan‑College Station, Texas. Two policy scenarios—maximizing geospatial similarity versus minimizing travel distance—demonstrate how different strategic objectives influence station placement outcomes.

This study presents a new mobile‑sensing dataset from Surat, India, capturing PM2.5 concentrations along with meteorological and land‑use variables. The authors model the data as a graph using two node‑definition strategies—uniform segmentation and DBSCAN clustering—and introduce a Spatially Attentive Graph Neural Network (SA‑GNN) that combines cluster‑specific GRUs with a Graph Attention Network to forecast fine‑grained, short‑term PM2.5 levels. SA‑GNN outperforms traditional LSTM, RNN, GRU, and ANN baselines, achieving an R² of 0.95, RMSE of 6.8, and MAE of 4.2 µg/m³ on the dataset.
