Abstract

In user trajectory prediction within urban scenarios, existing methods lack an inference mechanism from social semantics to dynamic physical constraints, which limits the deep decoupling of spatiotemporal correlations. This paper proposes a joint user trajectory and arrival time prediction method based on the social-aware driven deep decoupling of spatiotemporal correlations, adopting an architecture characterized by "Individual-Social Dual-Layer Encoding + Spatiotemporal Correlation Constrained Decoding. " First, the method employs a multi-view feature extraction module to construct fundamental priors of user spatiotemporal behaviors. Then, it introduces a context-aware heterogeneous social graph Transformer to explicitly model the modulation effects of different social relationship types on individual moving speeds and travel rhythms under specific spatiotemporal contexts, thereby generating velocity distribution representations infused with social dynamics. Finally, a physics-constrained decoder integrates the derived velocity features into the "distance-velocity-time" physical manifold to ensure the consistency of prediction results. Experiments on large-scale real-world datasets demonstrate that the proposed method improves location prediction accuracy by 10.18%, reduces Estimated Time of Arrival (ETA) estimation error by 12.3%, and enhances physical consistency by 84%, verifying the effectiveness of the unified modeling of individual, social, and physical constraints for trajectory prediction.
