Abstract

Road segment representation is important for evaluating travel time, route recovery and traffic anomaly detection. Recent works mainly consider topology information of road network based on graph neural network, while dynamic character of topology relationship is usually ignored. Especially, the relationship between road segments is evolving with time elapsing. To obtain road segment representation based on dynamic spatial information, we propose a model named temporal and spatial deep graph infomax network (ST-DGI). It not only captures road topology relationship, but also denotes road segment representation under different time intervals. Meanwhile, the global traffic status/flow will also affect local road segments’ traffic situation. Our model would learn the mutual relationship between them, with maximizing mutual information between road segment (local) representation and traffic status/flow (global) representation. Furthermore, it would make road segment representation more distinguishable by this kind of unsupervised learning, and be helpful for downstream application. Extensive experiments are conducted on two important traffic datasets. Compared with the state-of-the-arts models, the experiment results demonstrate the superior effectiveness of our model.
