DynaOD: Dynamic Origin-Destination Flow Generation with Discrete-to-Continuous Temporal Semantic Modeling

arXiv:2606.09086v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Dynamic origin-destination (OD) flow generation seeks to synthesize realistic mobility dynamics from temporal context alone, without relying on historical OD observations. A key challenge is to translate semantic temporal signals into temporally coherent OD patterns while preserving the inherent spatial heterogeneity of urban regions. We propose DynaOD, a semantic-driven framework that models temporal dynamics through two complementary perspectives: discrete directional trends that characterize qualitative shifts in urban activity patterns, and c
The proliferation of urban data and advancements in AI interpretative models are enabling more sophisticated analyses of complex temporal-spatial dynamics.
This research provides a method for generating realistic mobility patterns without historical data, which is crucial for urban planning, disaster response, and logistics in areas with limited data.
The ability to simulate dynamic origin-destination flows purely from temporal context reduces reliance on exhaustive historical datasets, expanding the applicability of smart city solutions.
