New York City implemented the nation's first cordon-based congestion pricing program in January 2025, providing an opportunity to evaluate how system-wide urban mobility responds to large-scale pricing interventions. Because such policies generate spillovers across modes and locations, credible control groups are difficult to construct.

The paper demonstrates that real‑time urban mobility patterns can be reconstructed from aggregated area‑level counts, without tracking individuals. Using a physics‑informed, uncertainty‑aware framework, the authors infer future origin‑destination flows across twelve datasets from the U.S. and China, achieving accuracy comparable to models that use historical OD matrices. Probabilistic modeling corrects underestimation of sparse corridors, and architectures that preserve spatial heterogeneity before reconstructing pairwise interactions yield more faithful interaction estimates.
arXiv:2507. 00945v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Short-term forecasting of aggregated human mobility flows supports urban planning, intelligent transportation systems, and emergency response, yet existing models often require substantial mobility history and learn spatial structure implicitly through grids or graphs.
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.
