Estimated Time of Arrival (ETA) is a crucial task in the logistics and transportation industry, aiding businesses and individuals in optimizing time management and improving operational efficiency. This study proposes a novel Graph Recurrent Neural Network (GRNN) model that integrates external factor data. The model first employs a Multilayer Perceptron (MLP)-based external factor data embedding layer to categorize and combine influencing factors into a vector representation. A Graph Recurrent Neural Network, combining Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) and GNN models, is then used to predict ETA based on historical data. The model undergoes both offline and online evaluation experiments. Specifically, the offline experiments demonstrate a 5.3% reduction in RMSE on the BikeNYC dataset and a 6.1% reduction on the DidiShenzhen dataset, compared to baseline models. Online evaluation using Baidu Maps data further validates the model’s effectiveness in real-time scenarios. These results underscore the model’s potential in improving ETA predictions for urban traffic systems.
