分离天气对城市交通的影响,提升极端天气下预测准确性。

WED-Net: A Weather-Effect Disentanglement Network with Causal Augmentation for Urban Flow Prediction

  • 双分支Transformer分离内在与天气引起的交通模式。
  • 在三座城市数据集上,极端天气下预测误差降低18%~24%。
  • 适合城市交通管理、应急响应与智慧城市建设者使用。

极端天气(如暴雨)下的城市时空流量预测面临事件稀有性和动态复杂性的挑战。现有数据驱动方法常依赖粗粒度天气描述,缺乏捕捉精细时空效应的机制。尽管近期方法采用因果技术提升分布外泛化能力,但通常忽略时间动态性或依赖固定混淆因子分层。为此,我们提出WED-Net(天气效应解耦网络),一种双分支Transformer架构,通过自注意力与交叉注意力分离内在交通模式与天气诱导模式,结合记忆库并以自适应门控融合。为增强解耦效果,引入判别器显式区分天气条件。此外,设计因果数据增强策略,在保持因果结构的前提下扰动非因果部分,提升罕见场景下的泛化能力。在三个城市的出租车流量数据集上的实验表明,WED-Net在极端天气下表现稳健,显著提升交通预测可靠性,具备支持更安全出行、灾害应对与城市韧性建设的潜力。代码已公开于https://github.com/HQ-LV/WED-Net。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Urban spatio-temporal prediction under extreme conditions (e.g., heavy rain) is challenging due to event rarity and dynamics. Existing data-driven approaches that incorporate weather as auxiliary input often rely on coarse-grained descriptors and lack dedicated mechanisms to capture fine-grained spatio-temporal effects. Although recent methods adopt causal techniques to improve out-of-distribution generalization, they typically overlook temporal dynamics or depend on fixed confounder stratification. To address these limitations, we propose WED-Net (Weather-Effect Disentanglement Network), a dual-branch Transformer architecture that separates intrinsic and weather-induced traffic patterns via self- and cross-attention, enhanced with memory banks and fused through adaptive gating. To further promote disentanglement, we introduce a discriminator that explicitly distinguishes weather conditions. Additionally, we design a causal data augmentation strategy that perturbs non-causal parts while preserving causal structures, enabling improved generalization under rare scenarios. Experiments on taxi-flow datasets from three cities demonstrate that WED-Net delivers robust performance under extreme weather conditions, highlighting its potential to support safer mobility, highlighting its potential to support safer mobility, disaster preparedness, and urban resilience in real-world settings. The code is publicly available at https://github.com/HQ-LV/WED-Net.
