STMGF: An Effective Spatial-Temporal Multi-Granularity Framework for
  Traffic Forecasting
Zhengyang Zhao Haitao Yuan Nan Jiang Minxiao Chen Ning Liu Zengxiang Li
Accurate Traffic Prediction is a challenging task in intelligent
transportation due to the spatial-temporal aspects of road networks. The
traffic of a road network can be affected by long-distance or long-term
dependencies where existing methods fall short in modeling them. In this paper,
we introduce a novel framework known as Spatial-Temporal Multi-Granularity
Framework (STMGF) to enhance the capture of long-distance and long-term
information of the road networks. STMGF makes full use of different granularity
information of road networks and models the long-distance and long-term
information by gathering information in a hierarchical interactive way.
Further, it leverages the inherent periodicity in traffic sequences to refine
prediction results by matching with recent traffic data. We conduct experiments
on two real-world datasets, and the results demonstrate that STMGF outperforms
all baseline models and achieves state-of-the-art performance.
