PatchSTG: Scalable Spatiotemporal Graph Transformers for Traffic Forecasting on Irregular Sensor Networks

arXiv:2606. 09872v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Traffic forecasting is a fundamental component of intelligent transportation systems, yet remains challenging in real-world settings due to irregular sensor distributions and the high computational cost of modeling large-scale spatiotemporal dependencies.

FedeRICo: Federated Region-Influenced Coupling for Traffic Flow Prediction

FedeRICo is a federated traffic forecasting framework that addresses heterogeneity across client sensor subgraphs by combining gradient-level collaboration with boundary-aware residual communication. It uses a dual-branch architecture: a globally guided branch for transferable forecasting structure and a private residual branch that preserves client-specific corrections and incorporates boundary residual signals. Experiments on four real-world traffic benchmarks show that FedeRICo outperforms state‑of‑the‑art federated spatial‑temporal baselines while keeping training runtime competitive.

Learning Local Heterogeneity and Cross-Region Context for Large-Scale Traffic Forecasting

The paper introduces LoReST, a Local-Region Spatial Temporal network designed for large-scale traffic forecasting. LoReST captures local spatial heterogeneity by relation-aware aggregation within node neighborhoods and incorporates cross-region context through mean pooling, inter-region attention, and broadcasting back to nodes. Experiments on the LargeST benchmark demonstrate significant improvements, reducing MAE, RMSE, and MAPE by 4.78%, 3.60%, and 5.75% respectively.

Spatio-Temporal Partial Sensing Forecast for Long-term Traffic

The paper introduces the Spatio-temporal Long-term Partial sensing Forecast model (SLPF) for predicting long-term traffic when sensors are only available at some locations. It tackles challenges such as unknown data distribution at unsensed sites, complex spatio-temporal correlations, and noise by employing a rank-based embedding, a spatial transfer matrix, and a multi-step training process. Experiments on real-world datasets show that SLPF outperforms existing methods.

Do We Really Need Adaptive Global Spatial Attention for Traffic Forecasting?

arXiv:2607. 12462v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Existing traffic forecasting models commonly focus on extracting spatial dependencies, particularly global spatial information, which characterizes the representations obtained through interactions between each node and all nodes across the traffic network.
