Real-time region-level traffic prediction help city traffic managers with traffic demand analysis, traffic congestion control, and other activities, and it has become a research hotspot. As more vehicles are equipped with GPS devices, remote sensing data can be collected and used to conduct data-driven region-level-based traffic prediction. However, due to dynamism and randomness of urban traffic and the complexity of urban road networks, the study of such issues faces many challenges. This paper proposes a new deep learning model named TmS-GCN to predict region-level traffic information, which is composed of Graph Convolutional Network (GCN) and Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU). The GCN part captures spatial dependence among regions, while the GRU part captures the dynamic change of traffic within the region. Model verification and comparison are carried out using real taxi GPS data from Shenzhen. The experimental results show that the proposed model outperforms both the classic time series prediction model and the deep learning model at different scales.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs14020303","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,1,11]],"date-time":"2022-01-11T03:03:13Z","timestamp":1641870193000},"page":"303","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":66,"title":["Region-Level Traffic Prediction Based on Temporal Multi-Spatial Dependence Graph Convolutional Network from GPS Data"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2073-0433","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Haiqiang","family":"Yang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute for Future, School of Automation, Qingdao University, Qingdao 266071, China"},{"name":"Shandong Key Laboratory of Industial Control Technology, Qingdao 266071, China"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3035-9546","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Xinming","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Logistics and E-commerce School, Zhejiang Wanli University, Ningbo 315100, China"}]},{"given":"Zihan","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute for Future, College of Physics, Qingdao University, Qingdao 266071, China"}]},{"given":"Jianxun","family":"Cui","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Transportation Science and Engineering, Harbin Institute of Technology, Harbin 150090, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,1,10]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"515","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ins.2016.06.033","article-title":"Mining Urban Recurrent Congestion Evolution Patterns from GPS-Equipped Vehicle Mobility Data","volume":"373","author":"An","year":"2016","journal-title":"Inf.
