用贝叶斯模型从只记录上车的公交卡数据推断乘客目的地。
Transit Destination Inference from Tap-In-Only Bus Smart-Card Data: A Hierarchical Bayesian Approach

- 构建分层贝叶斯模型,融合上车数据与乘客历史轨迹推断下车点。
- 在常州83万条上车数据中准确预测了可行终点站的目的地分布。
- 适合交通规划、调度优化等需考虑出行不确定性场景。
仅记录上车信息的自动售检票系统无法直接构建起讫点(OD)矩阵。本研究提出分层贝叶斯隐目的地(HBLD)模型,结合站点-小时上车量、推断的下车需求及乘客卡历史数据。将行程链终点视为带可靠度参数的噪声证据,使目的地不确定性可传递至OD流量估计。模型基于2025年5月常州838,305条公交上车记录,关联站点网络与小时级天气数据,利用网络结构、时段、天气和平滑历史需求效应,估计可行的下车站及反向过站终点的目的地分布。贝叶斯个性化层基于先前乘车记录,当无历史时退化为共享行程级分布。通过随机变分推断拟合,最终周数据评估显示其优于最强基线。观察到的上车模式显著提升预测效果,尤其在缺乏卡历史时;推断下车模式仅在行程链证据可信时有效。模型捕捉到符合过站乘行与公交辅助过街的出行行为,并对确定性链式方法无法解析的行程估计了目的地。由于真实下车点不可得,评分依据与行程链输出的一致性而非实际准确性。该模型提供带不确定性的目的地预测与OD矩阵,可用于服务管理、规划、调度与资源分配。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Entry-only automatic fare collection systems record boardings but not alightings, preventing direct construction of origin-destination (OD) matrices. This study develops a Hierarchical Bayesian Latent-Destination (HBLD) model that combines station-hour boarding and inferred alighting demand with passenger card histories. Trip-chain destinations are treated as noisy evidence with a reliability parameter, allowing destination uncertainty to propagate into OD flows. The model was applied to 838,305 bus tap-ins collected in Changzhou in May 2025 and linked to stop-network and hourly weather data. It estimates destination distributions over feasible downstream and reverse-direction through-terminal stops using network, time-of-day, weather, and smoothed historical demand effects. A Bayesian personalization layer uses prior card trips and reverts to the shared trip-level distribution when history is unavailable. Fitted by stochastic variational inference and evaluated on the final week, HBLD outperformed the strongest baseline. Observed boarding patterns consistently improved prediction, especially without card history, while inferred alighting patterns helped only when trip-chain evidence was strongly trusted. The model captured travel consistent with through-terminal riding and bus-assisted road crossing and estimated destinations for trips unresolved by deterministic chaining. Because true alightings were unavailable, scores measure agreement with trip-chain outputs rather than actual destination accuracy. HBLD provides uncertainty-aware destination predictions and OD matrices for service management, planning, scheduling, and resource allocation.
