Abstract
Smart transportation is an essential component of the smart city. Traffic prediction is an important issue in smart transportation. The convolutional neural networks (GCN) are an effective approach for traffic prediction. However, the GCN meets some challenges, such as stability of prediction precision and computation cost, in traffic prediction. The hyperparameters significantly affect the performance of GCN. We conduct a regression analysis between hyperparameters and GCN performance. Our simulation results show that there is the obvious optimal point of hyperparameters. Some empirical suggestion is given to adjust the hyperparameters based on the simulation results.
