A Multi-Step Speed Prediction Method for Traffic Networks Based on MAF-GCN-Seq2Seq Model

Accurately predicting the future trend of traffic flow is of great significance to the planning of urban traffic. The great challenge of predicting traffic flow stems from the complexity and uncertainty of traffic flow. To address the complexity of traffic flow, this paper proposes a MAF-GCN­
$\text{Seq}2$
Seq model. The model uses a moving average filter to filter the time series data, extracts the spatial features between each node through a graph convolutional neural network, and forms a time series matrix for input into the encoder (GRU), and introduces a self-attention mechanism to mine the spatial features. time-domain features for multi-step traffic speed prediction. In order to verify the advanced nature of the model, this paper uses the traffic flow data set in Shenzhen to predict the traffic flow. Through the comparison experiments, it can be seen that the prediction accuracy of the MAF-GCN­
$\text{Seq}2$
Seq model reaches 90%, which has obvious advantages compared with other models.
