Abstract

En 中文
Congestion, whether recurrent or non-recurrent, propagates through the road network. The process of congestion propagation from a particular road to its neighbors can be regarded as a kind of message passing with a directed relationship. Existing methods have created a solid foundation for characterizing congestion propagation; however, they are either built upon simplified assumptions in traffic flow theory or predefined relationships among road sections, which would lead to downgraded accuracy in practice. This paper proposes a dynamic Bayesian graph convolutional network (DBGCN), which integrates Bayesian inference into a deep learning framework. Therefore, the rules of congestion propagation in the network can be actively learned from the observed data instead of predefining them based on prior knowledge. Experimental results on 971 testbeds in a regional road network in Beijing demonstrate that DBGCN outperforms the state-of-the-art models in inferring the congestion propagation spatiotemporal coverage and reveals variations in congestion propagation patterns according to the road network structure. Furthermore, the proposed model can simulate the congestion propagation process in customized scenarios by learning the latent congestion propagation rules. The results in different scenarios show that the change of congestion source location leads to distinct congestion magnitude, and the propagation of congestion will eventually stop at the road sections with strong shunting effect.
