交通流预测对缓解拥堵、提升安全性和优化交通系统至关重要,但受城市交通随机性及环境因素影响,仍具挑战。本文提出一种基于图神经网络(GNN)的框架,通过引入对数正态分布与变异系数(CV)构建自适应邻接矩阵,反映真实出行时间的变异性。同时,气温、风速、降水等气象因素动态调节图边权重,使模型能捕捉交通站点间随时间演化的时空依赖关系。相较于静态邻接矩阵,该机制有效应对交通随机性与环境变化。进一步采用自适应分位数预测(ACP)框架,实现可靠不确定性量化,在保持合理预测区间的同时达成目标覆盖率。实验表明,该模型在多个基线方法上取得更优的预测精度与不确定性估计。通过SUMO仿真与蒙特卡洛模拟构建车辆测试场景,得到的虚拟车辆(VUT)平均出行时间落在INRIX历史数据的置信区间内,验证了模型的鲁棒性。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Traffic flow forecasting is essential for managing congestion, improving safety, and optimizing various transportation systems. However, it remains a prevailing challenge due to the stochastic nature of urban traffic and environmental factors. Better predictions require models capable of accommodating the traffic variability influenced by multiple dynamic and complex interdependent factors. In this work, we propose a Graph Neural Network (GNN) framework to address the stochasticity by leveraging adaptive adjacency matrices using log-normal distributions and Coefficient of Variation (CV) values to reflect real-world travel time variability. Additionally, weather factors such as temperature, wind speed, and precipitation adjust edge weights and enable GNN to capture evolving spatio-temporal dependencies across traffic stations. This enhancement over the static adjacency matrix allows the model to adapt effectively to traffic stochasticity and changing environmental conditions. Furthermore, we utilize the Adaptive Conformal Prediction (ACP) framework to provide reliable uncertainty quantification, achieving target coverage while maintaining acceptable prediction intervals. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed model, in comparison with baseline methods, showed better prediction accuracy and uncertainty bounds. We, then, validate this method by constructing traffic scenarios in SUMO and applying Monte-Carlo simulation to derive a travel time distribution for a Vehicle Under Test (VUT) to reflect real-world variability. The simulated mean travel time of the VUT falls within the intervals defined by INRIX historical data, verifying the model's robustness.
