New traffic forecasting datasets simulate evolving sensor networks

Researchers have introduced XXLTraffic and EvoXXLTraffic, new datasets designed to improve traffic forecasting by simulating the evolution of road sensor networks over time. Unlike existing benchmarks that assume a fixed sensor set, these datasets incorporate data spanning up to 27 years and account for the continuous growth and changes in sensor deployment. EvoXXLTraffic, in particular, features a yearly streaming forecasting protocol to better reflect real-world conditions, revealing that many current state-of-the-art methods struggle with these dynamic networks. AI

IMPACT These datasets will enable more realistic traffic forecasting models that can adapt to changing infrastructure, potentially improving urban planning and traffic management.

    From XXLTraffic to EvoXXLTraffic: Scaling Traffic Forecasting to Sensor-Evolving Networks

    arXiv:2605.29768v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Existing traffic forecasting benchmarks assume a fixed sensor set, but real road-sensor networks grow continuously as the road network changes year by year. We introduce the XXLTraffic dataset family, which spans up to 27 years of C…
