Neural ODE-PDE Hybrid Framework for Traffic Flow Dynamics

Research Framework

TrajODE is a deep learning model for spatial trajectories that uses Neural ODEs and latent variables to capture continuous-time movement and handle noisy GPS data. Its spatio-temporal gating mechanism improves classification accuracy by 14–21% over state-of-the-art RNNs on real-world datasets. TrajODE provides robust, natural modeling of real-world mobility patterns for applications like transport mode detection.
