A Multi Stream Feature Fusion Approach For Traffic Prediction

This paper presents a multi-stream feature fusion approach for traffic prediction that utilizes a data-driven adjacent matrix for graph construction, improving the model's ability to capture complex traffic dynamics. The proposed model combines graph convolutional networks (GCN), gated recurrent units (GRU), and fully connected networks (FNN) in a parallel architecture, enhancing prediction accuracy while maintaining acceptable time complexity. Experimental results demonstrate that this approach outperforms existing state-of-the-art methods in real-world traffic prediction tasks.

A Multi Stream Feature Fusion Approach for Traffic

Prediction

ABSTRACT

Accurate and timely traffic flow prediction is crucial for intelligent transportation
systems (ITS). Recent advances in graph-based neural networks have achieved
promising prediction results. However, some challenges remain, especially regarding
graph construction and the time complexity of models. In this paper, we propose a
multi-stream feature fusion approach to extract and integrate rich features from traffic
data and leverage a data-driven adjacent matrix instead of the distance-based
matrix to construct graphs. We calculate the Spearman rank correlation coefficient
between monitor stations to obtain the initial adjacent matrix and fine-tune it while
training. As to the model, we construct a multi-stream feature fusion block (MFFB)
module, which includes a three-channel network and the soft attention mechanism.
The three-channel networks are graph convolutional neural network (GCN), gated
recurrent unit (GRU) and fully connected neural network (FNN), which are used to
extract spatial, temporal and other features, respectively. The soft-attention mechanism
is utilized to integrate the obtained features. The MFFB modules are stacked, and a
fully connected layer and a convolutional layer are used to make predictions.We
conduct experiments on two real-world traffic prediction tasks and verify that our
proposed approach outperforms the state-of-the-art methods within an acceptable time
complexity.
EXISTING SYSTEM

Recently, several researchers apply the graph-based deep learning approaches for
traffic prediction. Thanks to the powerful expression of graphs for non-Euclidian
structures, learning from graphs based on road sensor networks has achieved more
accurate results [26]–[28]. In this kind of method, the road sensor network is regarded
as a graph, where nodes represent monitor stations and contain traffic information, and
an adjacent matrix is used to describe the correlation between stations. The
construction of an adjacent matrix affects the expressive power of the graph directly.

The graphs can be divided into directed and undirected graphs. The adjacent matrix
for undirected graphs is symmetric, such as the connection between social networks
[29] and quantum chemistry [30]. It is not the same case in directed graphs, such as
paper citation networks and road sensor networks [7]. As to the implementation of
GCN, there are two alternative approaches including spectral methods and non-
spectral methods. Based on spectral methods, the convolution operation is mapped to
the frequency domain, so the convolution in the time domain is replaced by the product
operation in the frequency domain. To reduce the computing complexity, localized
spectral graph convolution [31] and polynomials approximate expansion [32] are
proposed. Yu et al. constructed the ST-block which is composed of graph convolution
layers and sequence convolution layers. It can capture spatiotemporal correlation by
applying a convolution operation [26]. Based on non-spectral methods, the
convolution operation of the adjacent matrix is carried out directly and the pooling
operation is replaced by sparsing the adjacent matrix [33]. Later, the graph attention
neural network (GAT) is proposed to use the attention mechanism to update the
information of nodes [34].

The graph diffusion neural network implemented by random walk also achieves the
same functions [35]. To better extract spatio-temporal information, researchers have
integrated temporal models with graph convolution neural networks. Seo et al.
proposed a temporal sequence model based on convolution spatial information termed
GCGRU. The gated product in GRU is changed to a graph convolution operation to
extract spatio-temporal features simultaneously [36]. Zhao et al. proposed a T-GCN
model, in which GCN and GRU are stacked to extract spatial and temporal features
respectively [27]. Graph models combined with other frameworks are also developed.
Li et al. proposed a model to capture the spatial dependency using bidirectional
random walks on the graph and the temporal dependency using the encoderdecoder
architecture with scheduled sampling [37]. Liao et al. proposed a hybrid model in
which spatial features extracted by GCN and the original features are integrated and
fed into the sequence to sequence (seq2seq) structure.

Disadvantages
 The system is not implemented The Hybrid Multi-Stream Feature Fusion
Network.
 The system is not implemented data-driven adjacent matrix.

Proposed System
The system highlights how the proposed model tackles the challenges:
• The system harness the power of GCN, GRU and FNN in a joint model that captures
the complex nonlinear relations of the traffic dynamics observed from the road sensor
network, which improves the model’s ability to express traffic features.

• The architecture for feature extraction is parallelized instead of in cascade, which is


helpful for accelerating the training and inferring process of the model. The main
contributions of this paper are three-fold:
• The system proposes a data-driven adjacent matrix instead of a distance-based matrix
to map the road sensor network as a graph, which reduces manual design burden and
achieves comparable performance than a distance-based approach.
• The system constructs a multi-stream feature fusion module, in which a three-channel
network is used to extract spatial-temporal and other features effectively, and the soft-
attention mechanism is applied to integrate them.
• The system balances the performance and complexity of the prediction model.
Compared to the state-of-the-art methods in two real-world prediction tasks, our model
can achieve comparable even better results within acceptable time complexity.

Advantages
 In the proposed system, Attention-Based Multi-Stream Feature Fusion in which
prediction accuracy is more.
 The proposed system developed an Effect of Graph Construction of Road
Sensor Network in which datasets are accurate for predictions using classifiers.
