Traffic Congestion Prediction

Traffic congestion prediction aims to forecast traffic flow and congestion levels, enabling proactive traffic management and improved urban planning. Current research heavily utilizes graph convolutional networks (GCNs) and other deep learning architectures, often incorporating multimodal data sources like sensor readings, GPS trajectories, and even video imagery, to capture complex spatio-temporal dependencies. These advanced models are improving prediction accuracy and expanding to larger geographical scales, offering significant potential for optimizing transportation systems and mitigating the negative impacts of congestion. The field is also exploring more sophisticated methods for handling event-based predictions, such as congestion onset and duration.
