Effective Travel Time Estimation: When Historical Trajectories over Road Networks Matter

Summary: Neural travel-time model aligns each OD query with its historical trajectory in a shared latent space, exploiting road-segment embeddings and time-slot embeddings. A temporal graph captures weekly/daily periodicity; at inference only OD input is needed to generate travel time. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
