Short-term passenger flow prediction for multi-traffic modes: A Transformer and residual network based multi-task learning method

With the prevailing of mobility as a service (MaaS), it becomes increasingly important to manage multi-traffic modes simultaneously and cooperatively. As an important component of MaaS, short-term passenger flow prediction for multi-traffic modes has thus been brought into focus. It is a challenging problem because the spatiotemporal features of multi-traffic modes are critically complex. Moreover, the passenger flows of multi-traffic modes differentiate and fluctuate significantly. To solve these problems, this paper proposes a multitask learning-based model, called Res-Transformer, for short-term inflow prediction of multi-traffic modes (subway, taxi, and bus). Each traffic mode is treated as a single task in the model. The Res-Transformer consists of two parts: (1) several modified Transformer layers comprising the conv-Transformer layer and the multi-head attention mechanism, which helps to extract the spatial and temporal features of multi-traffic modes, (2) the structure of residual network is utilized to obtain the correlations of different traffic modes and prevent gradient vanishing, gradient explosion, and overfitting. The Res-Transformer model is evaluated on two large-scale real-world datasets from Beijing, China. One is the region of a traffic hub and the other is the region of a residential area. Experiments are conducted to compare the performance of the proposed model with several baseline models. Results prove the effectiveness and robustness of the proposed method. This paper can give critical insights into the short-term inflow prediction for multi-traffic modes.
