The invention discloses a
traffic flow prediction method and device based on multi-
modal data collaboration and bidirectional space-time
diffusion convolution, and relates to the technical field of intelligent traffic, and the method comprises the steps: obtaining multi-
modal traffic data, carrying out the
time alignment and space alignment, and determining the aligned traffic data of each
modal; performing
feature extraction on each aligned traffic data to generate corresponding traffic features; performing gating dynamic fusion by adopting each traffic feature, and constructing a traffic fusion feature; carrying out bidirectional space-time
diffusion convolution feature extraction based on the traffic fusion features, and determining space-time cooperation features; performing prediction according to the space-time cooperation features, and outputting a
traffic flow prediction result; based on the above scheme, space-
time alignment and gating dynamic fusion are adopted to realize multi-
modal data collaboration, heterogeneous data fusion expression ability is enhanced, bidirectional propagation feature capture of time and space dimensions is performed through bidirectional space-time
diffusion convolution feature extraction, comprehensive capture of complex space-
time dependency relationships is assisted, and data fusion efficiency is improved. And the
traffic flow prediction precision is improved on the whole.
