The proposed UMOD method addresses the challenge of accurately predicting metro Origin-Destination (OD) flow by considering OD pairs as a unified entity, reflecting actual travel patterns and allowing for analyzing spatio-temporal correlations. The method consists of three core modules: data embedding, temporal relation, and spatial relation modules. By projecting raw OD pair inputs into hidden space representations and processing them to capture inter-pair and intra-pair dependencies, UMOD outperforms existing approaches on two real-world urban metro OD flow datasets.

The paper proposes a new way of predicting where people are going in a city’s subway system. It suggests that instead of looking at individual stations, we should look at the connections between them, because people often have specific starting and ending points. The method uses three parts to make predictions: one part changes how we represent the data, another part looks at patterns over time, and the last part looks at patterns in space. This helps to make more accurate predictions of where people are going.
