Deep or statistical: an empirical study of traffic predictions on multiple time scales

Published: 25 October 2022 Publication History

Abstract

Traffic prediction aims to forecast the future traffic level based on past observations. In this paper, we conduct an empirical study of traffic prediction for a campus trace on different time scales and get the following conclusions: 1) deep learning performs well on coarser time scales; 2) with a finer-granularity of time or insufficient data, statistical and regressive models outperform; 3) For a one-week trace, the granularity of 5 minutes has the strongest predictability.
