Abstract

The near-future parking space availability is informative for the formulation of parking-related policy in urban areas. Plenty of studies have contributed to the spatial–temporal prediction for parking occupancy by considering the adjacency between parking lots. However, their similarities in properties remain unspecific. For example, parking lots with similar functions, though not adjacent, usually have similar patterns of occupancy changes, which can help with the prediction as well. To fill the gap, this paper proposes a multi-view and attention-based approach for spatial–temporal parking occupancy prediction, namely hybrid graph convolution network with long short-term memory and temporal pattern attention (HGLT). In addition to the local view of adjacency, we construct a similarity matrix using the Pearson correlation coefficient between parking lots as the global view. Then, we design an integrated neural network focusing on graph structure and temporal pattern to assign proper weights to the different spatial features in both views. Comprehensive evaluations on a real-world dataset show that HGLT reduces prediction error by about 30.14% on average compared to other state-of-the-art models. Moreover, it is demonstrated that the global view is effective in predicting parking occupancy.
