description Accurate urban travel demand forecasting can help organize traffic flow, improve traffic utilization, reduce passenger waiting time, etc. It plays an important role in intelligent transportation systems. Most of the existing research methods construct static graphs from a single perspective or two perspectives, without considering the dynamic impact of time changes and various factors on traffic demand. Moreover, travel demand is also affected by regional functions such as weather, etc. To address these issues, we propose an urban travel demand prediction framework based on dynamic multi-view coupled graph convolution (DMV-GCN). Specifically, we dynamically construct demand similarity graphs based on node features to model the dynamic correlation of demand. Then we combine it with the predefined geographic similarity graph, functional similarity graph, and road similarity graph. We use coupled graph convolution network and gated recurrent units (GRU), to model the spatio-temporal correlation in traffic. We conduct extensive experiments over two large real-world datasets. The results verify the superior performance of our proposed approach for the urban travel demand forecasting task.
