Abstract
Urban online ride-hailing demand forecasting is an important component of smart city transportation systems. An accurate online ride-hailing demand prediction model can help cities allocate online ride-hailing resources reasonably, reduce energy waste, and reduce traffic congestion. With the massive popularity of online ride-hailing, we can collect a large amount of order data, and how to use deep learning models for improving order prediction accuracy has become a hot research topic. Most of the urban online taxi demand forecasting methods do not sufficiently consider the influencing factors and cannot model the complex nonlinear spatio-temporal relationships. Therefore, we propose a multi-view deep spatio-temporal network framework (MVDSTN) architecture to obtain the spatio-temporal relationships for online ride-hailing demand prediction. Our proposed model includes five views,up-passenger order view, down-passenger order view, POI view, spatial GCN view, POI view and weather view, applies LSTM with attention mechanism to achieve demand prediction for urban online taxi bodies. Experiments Haikou Didi Taxi datasets and Wuhan Taxi datasets prove that our model has good robustness and the prediction method outperforms current methods.
