Probabilistic Image-Driven Traffic Modeling via Remote Sensing (2403.05521v2)
Abstract: This work addresses the task of modeling spatiotemporal traffic patterns directly from overhead imagery, which we refer to as image-driven traffic modeling. We extend this line of work and introduce a multi-modal, multi-task transformer-based segmentation architecture that can be used to create dense city-scale traffic models. Our approach includes a geo-temporal positional encoding module for integrating geo-temporal context and a probabilistic objective function for estimating traffic speeds that naturally models temporal variations. We evaluate our method extensively using the Dynamic Traffic Speeds (DTS) benchmark dataset and significantly improve the state-of-the-art. Finally, we introduce the DTS++ dataset to support mobility-related location adaptation experiments.
