MCT-TTE: Travel Time Estimation Based on Transformer and Convolution Neural Networks.

In this paper, we propose a new travel time estimation framework based on transformer and convolution neural networks (CNN) to improve the accuracy of travel time estimation. We design a traffic information fusion component, which fuses the GPS trajectory, real road network, and external attributes, to fully consider the influence of road network topological characteristics as well as the traffic temporal characteristics on travel time estimation. Moreover, we provide a multiview CNN transformer component to capture the spatial information of each trajectory point at multiple regional scales. Extensive experiments on Chengdu and Beijing datasets show that the mean absolute percent error (MAPE) of our MCT-TTE is 11.25% and 11.78%, which is competitive with the state-of-the-arts baselines.
