Pedestrian Flow Prediction with Business Events

Pedestrian flow is an important indicator of public places, since it can provide more potential economic benefits. Pedestrian flow prediction is developed to help the decisionmaking for the operators (such as shopping center owner). Furthermore, the operators aperiodically arrange some events to attract the nearby pedestrians, such as the sales promotions, and we term this kind of events as business event. Moreover, their placement will affect the distributions of the pedestrian flows. In this paper, we investigate the influence of the business events on the pedestrian flows. Then, we propose an Attraction Based Matrix Factorization model, called ABMF, to efficiently predict the pedestrian flow with business events and enable operators to formulate candidate solutions. The experimental results show the superiority of our prediction method compared with other state-of-the-art prediction techniques.
