Review of spatio-temporal models for short-term traffic forecasting

Abstract

Short-term traffic forecasting has been a hot research area in transportation research for more than sixty years. In recent years, more and more spatio-temporal models for short-term traffic forecasting were put forward with the consideration of spatial-temporal characteristic of traffic. This paper reviews the spatio-temporal models on short-term traffic flow forecasting and points out that the novel models and proper fusion of models should be the developmental trend of spatio-temporal models for the short-term traffic flow forecasting.
