Network-wide Freeway Traffic Estimation Using Sparse Sensor Data: A Dirichlet Graph Auto-Encoder Approach

arXiv CS.LG

ArXi:2503.15845v2 Announce Type: replace Network-wide Traffic State Estimation (TSE), which aims to infer a complete image of network traffic states with sparsely deployed sensors, plays a vital role in intelligent transportation systems. With the development of data-driven methods, traffic dynamics modeling has advanced significantly. However, TSE poses fundamental challenges for data-driven approaches, since historical patterns cannot be learned locally at sensor-free segments.
