Abstract With the continuous development of smart cities, intelligent transportation systems (ITSs) have ushered in many breakthroughs and upgrades. As a solid foundation for an ITS, traffic flow prediction effectively helps the city to better manage intricate traffic flow. However, existing traffic flow prediction methods such as temporal graph convolutional networks(T-GCNs) ignore the dissimilarities between lanes. Thus, they cannot provide more specific information regarding predictions such as dynamic changes in traffic flow direction and deeper lane relationships. With the upgrading of intersection sensors, more and more intersection lanes are equipped with intersection sensors to detect vehicle information all day long. These spatio-temporal data help researchers refine the focus of traffic prediction research down to the lane level. More accurate and detailed data mean that it is more difficult to mine the spatio-temporal correlations between data, and modeling heterogeneous data becomes more challenging. In order to deal with these problems, we propose a heterogeneous graph convolution model based on dynamic graph generation. The model consists of three components. The internal graph convolution network captures the real-time spatial dependency between lanes in terms of generated dynamic graphs. The external heterogeneous data fusion network comprehensively considers other parameters such as lane speed, lane occupancy, and weather conditions. The codec neural network utilizes a temporal attention mechanism to capture the deep temporal dependency. We test the performance of this model based on two real-world datasets, and extensive comparative experiments indicate that the proposed heterogeneous graph convolution model can improve the prediction accuracy. © 2022 by the authors.
