City-scale traffic prediction is an important task for public safety, traffic management, and deployment of intelligent transportation systems. Many approaches have been proposed to address traffic prediction task using machine learning techniques. In this paper, we present a framework to help on addressing the task at hand (density-, traffic flow- and origin-destination flow predictions) considering data type, features, deep learning techniques such as Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), e.g., Autoencoder, Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs), e.g., Long Short Term Memory (LSTM), and Graph Convolutional Networks (GCNs). An autoencoder model is designed in this paper to predict traffic density based on historical data. Experiments on real-world taxi order data demonstrate the effectiveness of the model.
