As a typical spatiotemporal problem, there are three main challenges in traffic forecasting. First, the road network is a nonregular topology, and it is difficult to extract complex spatial dependence accurately. Second, there are short- and long-term dependencies between traffic dates. Third, there are many other factors besides the influence of spatiotemporal dependence, such as semantic characteristics. To address these issues, we propose a spatiotemporal DeepWalk gated recurrent unit model (ST-DWGRU), a deep learning framework that fuses spatial, temporal, and semantic features for traffic speed forecasting. In the framework, the spatial dependency between nodes of an entire road network is extracted by graph convolutional network (GCN), whereas the temporal dependency between speeds is captured by a gated recurrent unit network (GRU). DeepWalk is used to extract semantic information from road networks. Three publicly available datasets with different time granularities of 15, 30, and 60 min are used to validate the short- and long-time prediction effect of this model. The results show that the ST-DWGRU model significantly outperforms the state-of-the-art baselines.
