Prediction of traffic violations plays a key role in transportation safety. Combining with deep learning to predict traffic violations has become a new development trend. However, existing methods are based on regular spatial grids which leads to a fuzzy spatial expression and ignores the strong correlation between traffic violations and road network. A spatial topological graph can express the spatiotemporal correlation more accurately and then improve the accuracy of traffic violation prediction. Therefore, we propose a GATR (graph attention network based on road network) model to predict the spatiotemporal distribution of traffic violations, which adopts a graph attention network model combined with historical traffic violation features, external environmental features, and urban functional features. Experiments show that the GATR model can express the spatiotemporal distribution pattern of traffic violations more clearly and has higher prediction accuracy (RMSE = 1.7078) than Conv-LSTM (RMSE = 1.9180). The verification of the GATR model based on GNN Explainer shows the subgraph of the road network and the influence degree of features, which proves GATR is reasonable. GATR can provide an important reference for prevention and control of traffic violations and improve traffic safety.

Land cover mapping plays a pivotal role in global resource monitoring, sustainable development research, and effective management. However, the complexity of the mapping process, coupled with significant computational and data storage requirements, often leads to delays between data processing and product publication, thereby bringing challenges to creating multi-timesteps large-area products for monitoring dynamic land cover. Therefore, improving the efficiency of each stage in land cover mapping and automating the mapping process is currently an urgent issue to be addressed. This study proposes a high-performance automated large-area land cover mapping framework (HALF). By leveraging Docker and workflow technologies, the HALF effectively tackles model heterogeneity in complex land cover mapping processes, thereby simplifying model deployment and achieving a high degree of decoupling between production models. It optimizes key processes by incorporating high-performance computing techniques. To validate these methods, this study utilized Landsat imagery data and extracted samples using GLC_FCS and FROM_GLC, all of which were acquired at a spatial resolution of 30 m. Several 10° × 10° regions were chosen globally to illustrate the viability of generating large-area land cover using the HALF. In the sample collection phase, the HALF introduced an automated method for generating samples, which overlayed multiple prior products to generate a substantial number of samples, thus saving valuable manpower resources. Additionally, the HALF utilized high-performance computing technology to enhance the efficiency of the sample–image matching phase, thereby achieving a speed that was ten times faster than traditional matching methods. In the mapping stage, the HALF employed adaptive classification models to train the data in each region separately. Moreover, to address the challenge of handling a large number of classification results in a large area, the HALF utilized a parallel mosaicking method for classification results based on the concept of grid division, and the average processing time for a single image was approximately 6.5 s.

Large-scale land cover plays a crucial role in global resource monitoring and management, as well as research on sustainable development. However, the complexity of the mapping process, coupled with significant computational and data storage requirements, often leads to delays between data processing and product publication, creating challenges for dynamic monitoring of large-scale land cover. Therefore, improving the efficiency of each stage in large-scale land cover mapping and automating the mapping process is currently an urgent and critical issue that needs to be addressed. We propose a high-performance automated large-scale land cover mapping framework(HALF) that introduces high-performance computing technology to the field of land cover production. HALF optimizes key processes, such as automated sample point extraction, sample-remote sensing image matching, and large-scale classification result mosaic and update. We selected several 10°×10° regions globally and the research makes several significant contributions:(1)We design HALF for land cover mapping based on docker and CWL-Airflow, which solves the heterogeneity of models between complex processes in land cover mapping and simplifies the model deployment process. By introducing workflow organization, this method achieves a high degree of decoupling between the production models of each stage and the overall process, enhancing the scalability of the framework. (2)HALF propose an automatic sample points method that generates a large number of samples by overlaying and analyzing multiple prior products, thus saving the cost of manual sample selection. Using high-performance computing technology improved the computational efficiency of sample-image matching and feature extraction phase, with 10 times faster than traditional matching methods.(3)HALF propose a high-performance classification result mosaic method based on the idea of grid division. By quickly establishing the spatial relationship between the image and the product and performing parallel computing, the efficiency of the mosaicking in large areas is significantly improved. The average processing time for a single image is around 6.5 seconds.
