用事故信息动态调整交通图结构,提升长时间交通预测精度与可信度。

Long-Horizon Traffic Forecasting via Incident-Aware Conformal Spatio-Temporal Transformers

  • 基于事故数据动态构建交通图,随时间变化调整节点连接强度。
  • 在哥伦布市模拟中,长时序预测误差降低12.3%,置信区间校准更准确。
  • 适合交通管理、智能导航系统研发人员参考,尤其关注突发干扰建模。

可靠地进行多时域交通预测极具挑战性,因路网状态具有随机性,事故干扰偶发,且空间依赖关系随时段变化。本研究基于俄亥俄州交通部(ODOT)的交通流量数据及碰撞记录开展。采用时空变换器(STT)模型结合自适应容许预测(ACP),生成具有校准不确定性的多时域预测结果。提出分段系数变异(CV)策略,利用对数正态分布建模小时级行程时间波动,构建每小时动态邻接矩阵;进一步引入事故严重度信号(含事故处理时间、天气、超速、施工区及道路功能类别)扰动边权重,以捕捉局部中断与高峰/平峰转换。该动态图结构替代固定CV假设,更准确反映预测窗口内交通状态演变。验证方面,在哥伦布市网络上通过SUMO仿真进行多小时回路运行,采用蒙特卡洛模拟获取测试车辆(VUT)的行程时间分布。实验表明,相比基线方法,本方法在长时预测中精度提升12.3%,且预测区间校准效果更优。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Reliable multi-horizon traffic forecasting is challenging because network conditions are stochastic, incident disruptions are intermittent, and effective spatial dependencies vary across time-of-day patterns. This study is conducted on the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) traffic count data and corresponding ODOT crash records. This work utilizes a Spatio-Temporal Transformer (STT) model with Adaptive Conformal Prediction (ACP) to produce multi-horizon forecasts with calibrated uncertainty. We propose a piecewise Coefficient of Variation (CV) strategy that models hour-to-hour traveltime variability using a log-normal distribution, enabling the construction of a per-hour dynamic adjacency matrix. We further perturb edge weights using incident-related severity signals derived from the ODOT crash dataset that comprises incident clearance time, weather conditions, speed violations, work zones, and roadway functional class, to capture localized disruptions and peak/off-peak transitions. This dynamic graph construction replaces a fixed-CV assumption and better represents changing traffic conditions within the forecast window. For validation, we generate extended trips via multi-hour loop runs on the Columbus, Ohio, network in SUMO simulations and apply a Monte Carlo simulation to obtain travel-time distributions for a Vehicle Under Test (VUT). Experiments demonstrate improved long-horizon accuracy and well-calibrated prediction intervals compared to other baseline methods.
