STGNN-FAM: A Traffic Flow Prediction Model for Spatiotemporal Graph Networks Based on Fusion of Attention Mechanisms by Xueying Qi, Weijian Hu, Baoshan Li, Ke Han

“…This paper proposes a traffic flow prediction model for spatiotemporal graph networks based on fusion of attention mechanisms (STGNN-FAM) to simultaneously tackle these challenges. This model contains a spatial feature extraction layer, a bidirectional temporal feature extraction layer, and an attention fusion layer, which not only fully considers the temporal and spatial features of the traffic flow problem but also uses the attention mechanism to enhance the critical temporal and spatial features to achieve more accurate and robust predictions. …”
