Background:

Short-term traffic forecasting is vital for intelligent transportation systems.
Deep learning models for traffic forecasting face challenges due to sensor data characteristics like zero-value prevalence and heterogeneity.
Existing research lacks systematic analysis of how these data properties impact model performance and guide model selection.

Purpose of the Study:

To systematically analyze sensor data characteristics and their impact on deep learning model performance for traffic forecasting.
To develop a diagnostic framework for understanding architecture-specific failure modes in traffic sensing.
To propose a novel hybrid architecture, GETFormer, for improved traffic forecasting.

Main Methods:

Applied a sensor-network diagnostic framework to the METR-LA dataset (207 inductive loop detectors, 5-min resolution).
Benchmarked four representative architectures: Transformer, Spatio-Temporal Graph Convolutional Network (STGCN), Diffusion Convolutional Recurrent Neural Network (DCRNN), and Gated Temporal Convolutional Network (Gated TCN).
Conducted a per-sensor regression analysis linking zero-value ratios to model-specific prediction errors.

Main Results:

Identified specific sensor data characteristics (zero-value prevalence, heterogeneity, correlations) that cause architecture-specific failures.
Quantitatively linked higher zero-value ratios to increased prediction errors in certain models.
Developed Graph-Enhanced Transformer (GETFormer), a hybrid model outperforming others in specific conditions.

Conclusions:

Sensor data properties significantly influence the performance of deep learning models in traffic forecasting.
A diagnostic approach is crucial for evidence-based model selection in real-world intelligent transportation systems.
The proposed GETFormer architecture offers a promising direction for developing robust urban traffic sensing models.
