  • Patent number: 11995982
    Abstract: A method for constructing a prediction model of an auto trips quantity and a prediction method and system are disclosed. The prediction model construction method designs a deep neural network Multitask GCN-LSTM based on GCN and LSTM for predicting the auto trips quantity. The deep neural network comprises three modules, wherein the three modules are respectively used for extracting a spatial correlation, a temporal correlation and a feature fusion. The prediction method and system predict the auto trips quantity based on a model constructed. By considering a road segment local relationship and a road segment global relationship and taking an auto arrival quantity as a related task in constructing the model, the prediction model construction method uses a multi-task learning method to avoid overfitting of the deep neural network and reduce a prediction error of the auto trips quantity effectively.
