Abstract
The work in progress on a LSTM sequence to sequence variational autoencoder generative model is presented. The architecture is trained on a floating car data dataset in order to grasp the statistical features of the traffic demand in the city of Rome. An analysis of parameters influence is furnished. The generated trajectories are briefly compared with the ones in the dataset. Further work direction is provided.
