摘要：Accurate urban traffic flow prediction plays a vital role in Intelligent Transportation System (ITS). The complex long-term and long-range spatiotemporal correlations of traffic flow pose a significant challenge to the prediction task. Most current research methods focus only on spatial correlations in local areas, ignoring global geographic contextual information. It is challenging to capture spatial information from distant nodes using shallow graph neural networks (GNNs) to model long-range spatial correlations. To handle this problem, we design a novel spatiotemporal global semantic graph-attentive convolutional network model (STSGAN), which is a deep-level network to achieve the simultaneous modelling of spatiotemporal correlations. First, we propose a graph-attentive convolutional network (GACN) to extract the importance of different spatial features and learn the spatial correlation of local regions and the global spatial semantic information. The temporal causal convolution structure (TCN) is utilized to capture the causal relationships between long-short times, thus enabling an integrated consideration of local and overall spatiotemporal correlations. Several experiments are conducted on two real-world traffic flow datasets, and the results show that our approach outperforms several state-of-the-art baselines.
