Spatio-temporally complementary feature propagation on graphs for longitudinal AADT estimation

The paper introduces a spatio-temporally complementary feature propagation framework for estimating Annual Average Daily Traffic (AADT) across an entire urban network. It combines spatially sparse but temporally dense loop detector data with spatially complete but temporally sparse macroscopic transportation models, using a Poisson energy minimization algorithm on directed graphs with flow ratio matrices. Tested in Zurich, the method converges quickly and achieves a normalized mean absolute error below 10%, demonstrating its effectiveness and scalability.

General Semantic Knowledge Infusion for Spatio-Temporal Traffic Forecasting

The paper introduces a spatio‑temporal traffic forecasting framework that fuses Graph Neural Networks with embeddings derived from a general‑purpose knowledge graph such as Wikidata. By creating semantic subgraphs around traffic sensors, the approach captures relationships like nearby points of interest, administrative hierarchies, and functional roles of locations, which are then integrated as additional adjacency matrices for the GNN. Experiments demonstrate that this external knowledge improves prediction accuracy beyond what street‑network data alone can achieve, while also offering a path toward better interpretability.

General Semantic Knowledge Infusion for Spatio-Temporal Traffic Forecasting

The paper introduces a spatio‑temporal traffic forecasting framework that fuses Graph Neural Networks with semantic knowledge from general-purpose knowledge graphs such as Wikidata. By generating embeddings that capture relationships like nearby points of interest, administrative hierarchies, and functional roles of locations, the framework creates additional adjacency matrices that enrich the sensor graph beyond physical connectivity. Experiments with established forecasting methods demonstrate that this external knowledge improves prediction accuracy and offers a path toward better interpretability.

Synergistic Fusion of Topological Structure and Temporal Semantics of Mobility for Urban Region Embedding

The paper introduces Mobility Stream-Structure Synergy (MoSS), a method that fuses two complementary views of mobility data—an hourly inflow/outflow Sequence view and a Structure view derived from zigzag persistence diagrams—to capture temporal dynamics and evolving regional connectivity. MoSS employs a synergy module that extracts higher‑order representations from the co‑occurrence of these views, moving beyond additive fusion. Experiments on New York City and Chicago demonstrate that MoSS outperforms existing baselines on three downstream tasks using only mobility data.

Flow-Through Tensors: A Unified Computational Graph Architecture for Multi-Layer Transportation Network Optimization

arXiv:2507. 02961v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Modern transportation network modeling increasingly involves the integration of diverse methodologies including sensor-based forecasting, reinforcement learning, classical flow optimization, and demand modeling that have traditionally been developed in isolation.
