The proposed Multi-level Multi-view Augmented Spatio-temporal Transformer (LVSTformer) for traffic prediction leverages complex spatio-temporal correlations by capturing spatial dependencies at three levels: local geographic, global semantic, and pivotal nodes. The model combines parallel spatial self-attention mechanisms with a gated temporal self-attention mechanism to effectively capture long- and short-term temporal dependencies. Additionally, the incorporation of a spatio-temporal context broadcasting module enhances generalization ability and robustness. Experimental results on six traffic benchmarks demonstrate state-of-the-art performance compared to competing baselines, with up to 4.32% improvement.

LVSTformer is a new way to predict traffic flow. It’s like taking a picture of the roads and then using that picture to make predictions about what will happen in the future. The model looks at different levels of information: local details, global patterns, and important places on the road network. It also considers past and present traffic data to make more accurate predictions. Researchers tested LVSTformer on six real-world datasets and found it outperformed other methods by a significant amount.
