Representation Learning of public transport data. Application to event detection
Résumé
On the basis of data collected by counting sensors deployed on trains, this paper deals with a forecasting of passenger load in public transport taking into account train operation. Providing passengers with train load forecasting, in addition to the expected arrival time of the next train, can indeed be useful for a better planning of their journeys, which can prevent over-crowding situations in the trains [6] [7]. The proposed approach is built on both a hierarchy of recurrent neural networks [8] and representation learning [9] with the aim to explore the ability of such mobility data processing to simultaneously perform a forecasting task and highlight the impact of events on the public transport operation and demand. An event refers here to an unexpected passenger transport activity or to a modification in transport operation compared to those corresponding to normal conditions. Two kind of historical data are used, namely train load data and automatic vehicle location (AVL) data. This latter source contains all information related to the train operation (delay, time of arrival/departure of vehicles ...). The proposed methodology is applied on a railway transit network line operated by the French railway company SNCF in the suburban of Paris. The historical dataset used in the experiments covers the period from 2015 to 2016.
