Although existing DNN models can provide better performance than shallow models, it is still an open question to make full use of the spatio-temporal characteristics of traffic flows to improve performance. We propose a novel deep architecture combining CNN and LSTM for traffic flow (RCF) predictio. The model uses CNN to explore temporal correlation and LSTM to explore spatial correlation . Factors such as weather and historical period data are also added to the feature. Its advantage lies in making full use of the spatial-temporal correlation of traffic data and more comprehensively considered the impact of multiple related factors. Aiming at the difficult problem of obtaining spatial features, a feature selection method based on Random Forests is proposed. We use the gini score to represent the spatial connection between intersections to form a network graph constructed based on data.  The experimental results show that based on the random forest feature selection and RCF model, the accuracy of traffic prediction reaches 90% .
