Summary
This study introduces a novel spatio-temporal ensemble network for efficient traffic flow prediction. The graph temporal convolutional long short-term memory network (GT-LSTM) improves both accuracy and training speed for intelligent transportation systems.
Area of Science:
- Intelligent Transportation Systems
- Traffic Flow Dynamics
- Machine Learning for Transportation
Background:

- Employed self-adaptive graph convolutional network (GCN) for spatial dependency capture.
- Integrated spatial and temporal states using a non-inter-embedded approach.
- Utilized temporal convolutional network (TCN) and bidirectional long short-term memory network (Bi-LSTM) for pattern extraction.
Main Results:
- The proposed GT-LSTM network demonstrated excellent performance on four real-world traffic datasets.
- Achieved superior forecasting accuracy compared to existing methods.
- Showcased significant improvements in training efficiency.
Conclusions:
