A classification method for urban functional regions based on the transfer rate of empty cars

Abstract

Predicting the nature of each urban functional region based on the transfer rate of empty cars plays a crucial role in constructing smart cities and urban planning. The transfer rate of empty cars describes the probability of a taxi driving from one region to another without any passengers. It can reflect the main driving directions of taxies and the main flow directions of people among different urban functional regions. Although current researches have focused on the functional regions divided by remote sensing satellite images, there is almost no discussion on determining the nature of the region through taxi behaviour. The authors consider using taxi behaviour to classify urban functional regions. Besides, the attentional spatio-temporal model (Attentional Gated Recurrent Unit, AGRU) is introduced in the work. The AGRU consists of three modules, which are the spatial feature extraction module, the temporal feature extraction module, and the attentional pooling mechanism. The model has been evaluated on the data set provided by Didi Chuxing and it has been compared with some typical models. The experimental results show that the AGRU can reflect spatio-temporal information, and its attentional pooling mechanism can distinguish whether a region is the place of departure or the destination.

A survey of sustainable development of intelligent transportation system based on urban travel demand

“…The diversified travel needs require the intelligent transportation system to have higher flexibility and intelligence levels to meet the travel needs of different groups. Next, predicting the population density of key areas of the city is crucial [14]. The complexity of traffic scenarios and the spatial-temporal feature correlations pose higher challenges for traffic prediction research [15].…”

Will the Order Be Canceled? Order Cancellation Probability Prediction Based on Deep Residual Model

“…In recent years, it has received increasing attention from researchers. In the field of urban transportation, more and more researchers use deep-learning methods ( 19 , 20 ), especially convolutional neural networks (CNN) and recurrent neural networks (RNN) ( 21 ). Huang et al ( 22 ) proposed the VMD-LSTM model, which uses variational mode decomposition (VMD) to decompose the time-series passenger flow data into intrinsic mode functions (IMFs) at different time scales to reduce the impact of data noise on the passenger flow prediction model.…”

A Hybrid Artificial Intelligence-Based System for Supporting Eco-Industrialization of Complex Manufacturing Processes

“…Currently, in order to protect the natural resources and the environment and also to lead the world towards a sustainable future [9][10][11][12], producing and using eco-processes in the production phase has become one of the humanity necessities. Consequently, companies have to take this requirement into consideration.…”
