    Tang, Liyang; Zhao, Yang; Tsui, Kwok-Leung; He, Yuxin; Pan, Liwei (MDPI, 2020-08-13)
    Facilitated by rapid development of the data-intensive techniques together with communication and sensing technology, we can take advantage of smart card data collected through Automatic Fare Collection (AFC) systems to establish connections between public transit and urban spatial structure. In this paper, with a case study on Shenzhen metro system in China, we investigate the agglomeration pattern of passenger flow among subway stations. Specifically, leveraging inbound and outbound passenger flows at subway stations, we propose a clustering refinement approach based on cluster member stability among multiple clusterings produced by isomorphic or heterogeneous clusterers. Furthermore, we validate and elaborate five clusters of subway stations in terms of regional functionality and urban planning by comparing station clusters with reference to government planning policies and regulations of Shenzhen city. Additionally, outlier stations with ambiguous functionalities are detected using proposed clustering refinement framework.

    He, Yuxin; Huang, Ping; Hong, Weihang; Luo, Qin; Li, Lishuai; Tsui, Kwok-Leung (MDPI, 2024-09-06)
    Traffic prediction is crucial for transportation management and user convenience. With the rapid development of deep learning techniques, numerous models have emerged for traffic prediction. Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs) are extensively utilized as representative predictive models in this domain. This paper comprehensively reviews RNN applications in traffic prediction, focusing on their significance and challenges. The review begins by discussing the evolution of traffic prediction methods and summarizing state-of-the-art techniques. It then delves into the unique characteristics of traffic data, outlines common forms of input representations in traffic prediction, and generalizes an abstract description of traffic prediction problems. Then, the paper systematically categorizes models based on RNN structures designed for traffic prediction. Moreover, it provides a comprehensive overview of seven sub-categories of applications of deep learning models based on RNN in traffic prediction. Finally, the review compares RNNs with other state-of-the-art methods and highlights the challenges RNNs face in traffic prediction. This review is expected to offer significant reference value for comprehensively understanding the various applications of RNNs and common state-of-the-art models in traffic prediction. By discussing the strengths and weaknesses of these models and proposing strategies to address the challenges faced by RNNs, it aims to provide scholars with insights for designing better traffic prediction models.
