1st version of the High-order Graph Convolutional Recurrent Neural Network Structure

• The 1st version of Traffic Graph Convolutional LSTM.
• The code of this model is in the Code_V1 folder.
  • Environment: Python 3.6.1 and PyTorch 0.3.0

Dataset

The model is tested on two real-world network-wide traffic speed dataset, loop detector data and INRIX data. The following figure shows the covered areas. (a) Seattle freeway network; (b) Seattle downtown roadway network.

Check out this Link for looking into and downloading the loop detecotr dataset. For confidentiality reasons, the INRIX dataset can not be shared.

To run the code, you need to download the loop detector data and the network topology information and put them in the proper "Data" folder.
