description Methods to learn informative representations of road networks constitute an important prerequisite to solve multiple traffic analysis tasks with data-driven models. Most existing studies are only developed from a topology structure or traffic attribute perspective, and the resulting representations are biased and cannot fully capture the complex traffic flow patterns that are attributed to human mobility in road networks. Moreover, real-world road networks usually contain millions of segments, which poses a great challenge regarding the memory usage and computational efficiency of existing methods. Consequently, we proposed a novel multiview representation learning framework for large-scale urban road networks to simultaneously preserve topological and human mobility information. First, the road network was modeled as a multigraph, and a multiview random walk method was developed to capture the structure function of the road network from a topology-aware graph and vehicle transfer pattern from a mobility-aware graph. In this process, a large-scale road network organization method was established to improve the random walk algorithm efficiency. Finally, word2vec was applied to learn representations based on sequences that were generated by the multiview random walk. In the experiment, two real-world datasets were used to demonstrate the superior performance of our framework through a comparative analysis.
