Topology-regularized universal vector autoregression for traffic forecasting in large urban areas

作者:

Highlights:

• Fast paced growth in urban areas will soon drive traffic forecasting systems obsolete.

• Next generation systems should be: topological, modular, scalable, online & nonlinear.

• The proposed method with such properties has low network wide generalization error.

• Method outperforms baselines and univariate equivalents over two large area datasets.

• The topological design adjacency matrix is pivotal & requires expert domain knowledge.
