Abstract
Since its introduction in 2017, physics-informed deep learning (PIDL) has garnered growing popularity in understanding the systems governed by physical laws in terms of partial differential equations (PDEs). However, empirical evidence points to the limitations of PIDL for learning certain types of PDEs. In this paper, we (a) present the challenges in training PIDL architecture, (b) contrast the performance of PIDL architecture in learning a first order scalar hyperbolic conservation law and its parabolic counterpart, (c) investigate the effect of training data sampling, which corresponds to various sensing scenarios in traffic networks, (d) comment on the implications of PIDL limitations for traffic flow estimation and prediction in practice. Case studies present the contrast in PIDL results between learning the traffic flow model (LWR PDE) and its diffusive variation. The outcome indicates that PIDL experiences significant challenges in learning the hyperbolic LWR equation due to the non-smoothness of its solution. Conversely, the architecture with parabolic PDE, augmented with the diffusion term, leads to the successful reassembly of the density data even with the shockwaves present. The paper concludes by providing a discussion on recent assessments of reasons behind the challenge PIDL encounters with hyperbolic PDEs and the corresponding mitigation strategies.
