Abstract

Traffic holographic perception refers to the real-time, high-fidelity, and multi-dimensional sensing of traffic states through the fusion of heterogeneous sensors, including cameras, radars, and connected vehicle data. The multi-source perception data obtained thereby can provide a complete digital representation of the road network for the Intelligent Transportation System (ITS). However, sensors are vulnerable to environmental interference, which can result in data loss at specific points or along arterial highways for certain periods, potentially undermining system safety and decision-making reliability. To address these challenges, a deep learning method based on Graph Convolutional Networks (GCN) and Gated Recurrent Units (GRU) is proposed, leveraging Artificial Intelligence (AI) and intelligent connected technologies for real-time acquisition of multi-sensor perception data. A feature-level fusion integrates multi-source perception data. GCN captures spatial dependencies from the road network topology, while GRU extracts temporal features from time series, enabling accurate imputation of missing traffic data. The method is evaluated at intelligent connected intersections in the Beijing High-level Autonomous Driving Demonstration Area. Results show that the accuracy of long-term traffic state completion reaches 89.36%, and the Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) is reduced by 17.2% compared to the Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) baseline. This framework provides a practical solution for deploying traffic holographic perception technology in secure and trustworthy ITS.
