Abstract:

In order to solve the problem of great effect by weather conditions and the difficulty in extracting the temporal and spatial features of delay in the process of airport delay prediction, a meteorology-based spatio-temporal graph convolutional networks(MSTGCN) model is proposed in this paper. This model uses graph convolutional neural network (GCNN) and gated convolutional neural network (Gated CNN) to extract the temporal and spatial features of airport delays, and integrates meteorological characteristics extracting module to predict delay time of airports. The experiment results show that the performance of the proposed model in medium and short term prediction is superior to other comparative models. Compared with the model that does not consider meteorological factors, the mean absolute errors of MSTGCN for the next 1 h, 4 h and 12 h are respectively decreased by 7.03%, 7.93%, 11.54%, which greatly revises the prediction results.
