Abstract
The accurate prediction of online taxi-hailing demand is challenging but of significant value in the development of the intelligent transportation system. This article focuses on large-scale online taxi-hailing demand prediction and proposes a personalized demand prediction model. A model with two attention blocks is proposed to capture both spatial and temporal perspectives. We also explored the impact of network architecture on taxi-hailing demand prediction accuracy. The proposed method is universal in the sense that it is applicable to problems associated with large-scale spatiotemporal prediction. The experimental results on city-wide online taxi-hailing demand dataset demonstrate that the proposed personalized demand prediction model achieves superior prediction accuracy.
