Traffic Prediction

Traffic prediction is the task of predicting future traffic measurements (e.g. volume, speed, etc.) in a road network (graph), using historical data (timeseries).

Things are usually better defined through exclusions, so here are similar things that I do not include:

NYC taxi and bike (and other similar datsets, like uber), are not included, because they tend to be represented as a grid, not a graph.
Predicting human mobility, either indoors, or through checking-in in Point of Interest (POI), or through a transport network.
Predicting trajectory.
Predicting the movement of individual cars through sensors for the purpose of self-driving car.
Traffic data imputations.
Traffic anomaly detections.

The papers are haphazardly selected.

Performance

METR-LA MAE@60 mins

PeMS-BAY MAE@60 mins

NOTES: The experimental setttings may vary. But the common setting is:

Observation window = 12 timesteps
Prediction horizon = 1 timesteps
Prediction window = 12 timesteps
Metrics = MAE, RMSE, MAPE
Train, validation, and test splits = 7/1/2 OR 6/2/2

However, there are many caveats:

Some use different models for different prediction horizon.
Some use different batch size when testing previous models, as they increase the observation and prediction windows from previous studies, and have difficulties fitting it on GPU using the same batch size.
Regarding adjacency matrix, some derive it using Gaussian RBF from the coordinates, some use the actual connectivity, some simply learn it, and some use combinations.
Some might also add more context, such as time of day, or day of the week, or weather.
DeepGLO in particular, since it is treating it as a multi-channel timeseries without the spatial information, use rolling validation,
Many different treatment of missing datasets, from exclusion to imputations.
