• Highlights

  • Present a missing data imputation approach that utilizes the day dimension of traffic data.
  • Build a tensor completion task through truncated nuclear norm minimization.
  • Consider univariate autoregressive process along the temporal dimension to characterize the time series trends.

• New features in the repo

  • Use conjugate gradient to solve the linear equations, intead of least squares in the transdim repo.
  • Include both CPU (with import numpy as np) and GPU (with import cupy as np) implementation.

• Seattle freeway traffic speed dataset: This dataset contains freeway traffic speed from 323 loop detectors on the freeway network with a 5-minute time resolution (i.e., 288 time steps per day) over the first four weeks of January, 2015 in Seattle, USA. The processed data is of size 323-by-8,064 in the form of multivariate time series matrix. Alternatively, introducing the day dimension would lead to a tensor data of size 323-by-288-by-28.

• Portland highway traffic volume dataset: This dataset is collected from the highway network of the Portland-Vancouver Metropolitan region, which contains traffic volume from 1,156 loop detectors with a 15-minute time resolution (i.e., 96 time steps per day) in January, 2021. The processed data is of size 1,156-by-2,976 in the form of multivariate time series matrix. Alternatively, introducing the day dimension would lead to a tensor data of size 1,156-by-96-by-31.
