Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to optimize the accuracy of airport express passenger flow prediction so as to meet the need for the optimal allocation of traffic resources against the background of accelerated urbanization and the rapid development of airport express services. A fusion intelligence network model (FINM) is proposed, which integrates the advantages of convolutional neural networks, bidirectional long short-term memory networks, and gated recurrent units. Firstly, by using the powerful feature extraction ability of convolutional neural networks, local features and detail information are captured from the input data to improve the data representation ability. Secondly, bidirectional long short-term memory networks are used to process the sequence data, capture the global information and its context relationship, and enhance the model’s understanding of the dependence of time series data. Finally, gated recurrent units are introduced to simplify the computational complexity while maintaining high prediction accuracy and training efficiency. Based on the actual passenger flow data for Tianjin Metro Line 2 on a 30 min time scale, the proposed FINM is verified. The experimental results show that the model achieves an excellent performance, with 0.0160, 0.0947, 0.0160, 0.1255, 18.40, and 0.7788 in key indicators such as loss value (Loss Value), mean absolute error (MAE), mean squared error (MSE), root mean square error (RMSE), mean absolute percentage error (MAPE), and coefficient of determination (R-Squared). Compared with the comparison algorithm, this model shows significant advantages in all indicators, which proves its effectiveness in dealing with complex time series data.
