用贝叶斯方法评估交通规划场景与人口生成模型的兼容性

A Bayesian Framework for Evaluating Scenario Compatibility in Generative Population Synthesis

  • 构建基于变分自编码器的群体结构分布模型
  • 通过有效样本量量化场景对结构不确定性的压缩程度
  • 适合交通规划与政策模拟中的场景可行性检验

基于场景的交通分析通过总体人口目标设定未来假设,而生成式人口合成模型则生成个体层面的具体实现。当将场景目标施加于生成模型时,当前做法依赖确定性边际校准,隐含假设目标与模型学习到的结构支持相容。然而,场景约束是否位于生成支持范围内,以及其对结构不确定性造成的扭曲程度,尚未被充分研究。本文提出一种基于集成的贝叶斯更新框架,用于量化条件人口合成中的场景兼容性。开发了一种人口感知的条件变分自编码器,以学习合理的人口结构分布,同时保持总体一致性。从学习到的先验中采样的多组实现构成结构不确定性的经验近似。将场景目标视为总体统计上的概率证据,通过在集成上进行贝叶斯更新获得后验权重。使用有效样本量(ESS)量化场景兼容性,该指标衡量后验集中度及条件化引起的结构不确定性压缩程度。实验表明,场景影响不仅取决于目标大小,还取决于与学习到的联合结构的匹配度;当目标超出先验集成支持范围时,会暴露结构性失败模式。所提框架为下游投影与交通规划前提供了一种概率诊断工具,用于评估场景可行性与结构一致性。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Scenario-based transportation analysis specifies future assumptions through aggregate population targets, whereas generative population synthesis models produce detailed individual-level realizations. When scenario targets are imposed on generative models, current practice relies on deterministic marginal calibration, implicitly assuming that the targets are compatible with the model's learned structural support. However, whether scenario-level constraints lie within the generative support--and how strongly they distort structural uncertainty--remains largely unexamined. We propose an ensemble-based Bayesian updating framework to quantify scenario compatibility in conditional population synthesis. A population-aware conditional variational autoencoder is developed to learn a distribution over plausible population structures while preserving aggregate fidelity. An ensemble of realizations sampled from the learned prior provides an empirical approximation of structural uncertainty. Scenario targets are treated as probabilistic evidence over aggregate statistics, and posterior weights are obtained through Bayesian updating across the ensemble. Scenario compatibility is quantified using effective sample size (ESS), which measures posterior concentration and the compression of structural uncertainty induced by conditioning. Experiments demonstrate that scenario impact depends not only on target magnitude but also on alignment with the learned joint structure, and reveal structural failure modes when targets fall outside prior ensemble support. The proposed framework provides a probabilistic diagnostic model for evaluating scenario feasibility and structural consistency before downstream projection and transportation planning.
