Abstract:
Flow and speed are crucial for assessing the evolution of traffic conditions. Current traffic prediction research faces two critical limitations. First, existing methods fail to effectively capture multi-scale temporal features in traffic sequences, where traffic variations exhibit different patterns across time scales, particularly daily and weekly periodicities. Second, the shared parameter paradigm in Graph Convolutional Networks limits nodes’ ability to express unique characteristics, making it challenging to capture personalized traffic patterns when nodes have significantly different contexts. This work proposes a novel Multi-scale Temporal Enhanced Graph Convolutional Recurrent Network (MTEGCRN) to address these limitations simultaneously. In the temporal domain, a temporal feature enhancement module introduces daily and weekly periodic features through trainable temporal embeddings, enabling multi-scale feature learning with standard input lengths. A continuous temporal learning module integrates spatial and temporal learning within a unified framework, while a global temporal fusion module employing Transformers captures global dependencies for long-term prediction. In the spatial domain, a node-oriented graph convolutional network breaks the shared parameter paradigm by allocating personalized parameter spaces and high-dimensional temporal periodic features to each node, enabling the capture of node-specific traffic patterns. Experiments on five public datasets demonstrate that MTEGCRN significantly outperforms all baseline methods. Compared to the Dynamic Graph Convolutional Recurrent Network model, MTEGCRN reduces the mean absolute error by 9.51 %, 3.70 %, 12.02 %, 7.29 % and 9.94 % on the five datasets, respectively.
