New SeoulMMOD dataset benchmarks multimodal urban mobility forecasting

Researchers have introduced SeoulMMOD, a comprehensive benchmark dataset for forecasting urban mobility in Seoul. This dataset includes three years of hourly origin-destination flow data across six transport modes, covering 25 districts and 426 sub-districts. It also incorporates supplementary data such as travel times, distances, weather, and points of interest. Initial benchmarking of 14 forecasting models revealed that while some spatio-temporal models struggle with sub-district level forecasting, naive joint multi-mode training does not consistently yield better accuracy. AI

IMPACT Establishes a reproducible testbed for multimodal, multi-year OD forecasting at city scale, potentially advancing AI applications in urban planning.

    SeoulMMOD: A Large-Scale Multimodal Origin-Destination Flow Benchmark

    arXiv:2610.13730v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Origin-destination (OD) flow forecasting supports urban mobility decisions by predicting the volume and patterns of human movement across a city. Most existing public OD benchmarks provide only a partial view of citywide mobility, c…
