Missing data is an inevitable and common problem in data-driven intelligent transportation systems (ITS). In the past decade, scholars have done many research on the recovery of missing traffic data, however how to make full use of spatio-temporal traffic patterns to improve the recovery performance is still an open problem. Aiming at the spatio-temporal characteristics of traffic speed data, this paper regards the recovery of missing data as a matrix completion problem, and proposes a spatio-temporal traffic data completion method based on hidden feature analysis, which discovers spatio-temporal patterns and underlying structures from incomplete data to complete the recovery task. Therefore, we introduce spatial and temporal correlation to capture the main underlying features of each dimension. Finally, these latent features are applied to recovery traffic data through latent feature analysis. The experimental and evaluation results show that the evaluation criterion value of the model is small, which indicates that the model has better performance. The results show that the model can accurately estimate the continuous missing data.

Pattern matching of streaming time series with lower latency under limited computing resource comes to a critical problem, especially as the growth of Industry 4.0 and Industry Internet of Things. However, against traditional single pattern matching problem, a pattern may contain multiple segments representing different statistical properties or physical meanings for more precise and expressive matching in real world. Hence, we formulate a new problem, called "fine-grained pattern matching", which allows users to specify varied granularities of matching deviation to different segments of a given pattern, and fuzzy regions for adaptive breakpoints determination between consecutive segments. In this paper, we propose a novel two-phase approach. In the pruning phase, we introduce Equal-Length Block (ELB) representation together with Block-Skipping Pruning (BSP) policy, which guarantees low cost feature calculation, effective pruning and no false dismissals. In the post-processing phase, a delta-function is proposed to enable us to conduct exact matching in linear complexity. Extensive experiments are conducted to evaluate on synthetic and real-world datasets, which illustrates that our algorithm outperforms the brute-force method and MSM, a multi-step filter mechanism over the multi-scaled representation.
