Network State Estimation and Prediction for Real-Time Traffic Management

Advanced Traveler Information Systems (ATIS) and Advanced Traffic Management Systems (ATMS) have the potential to contribute to the solution of the traffic congestion problem. DynaMIT is a real-time system that can be used to generate guidance for travelers. The main principle on which DynaMIT is based is that information should be consistent, and user optimal. Consistency implies that the traffic conditions experienced by the travelers are consistent with the condition assumed in generating the guidance. To generate consistent user optimal information, DynaMIT performs two main functions: state estimation and prediction. A demand simulator and a supply simulator interact to perform these tasks. A case study demonstrates the value of the system.

Convergence analysis of convex incremental neural networks

Recently, a convex incremental algorithm (CI-ELM) has been proposed in Huang and Chen (Neurocomputing 70:3056–3062, 2007), which randomly chooses hidden neurons and then analytically determines the output weights connecting with the hidden layer and the output layer. Though hidden neurons are generated randomly, the network constructed by CI-ELM is still based on the principle of universal approximation. The random approximation theory breaks through the limitation of most conventional theories, eliminating the need for tuning hidden neurons. However, due to the random characteristic, some of the neurons contribute little to decrease the residual error, which eventually increase the complexity and computation of neural networks. Thus, CI-ELM cannot precisely give out its convergence rate. Based on Lee’s results (Lee et al., IEEE Trans Inf Theory 42(6):2118–2132, 1996), we first show the convergence rate of a maximum CI-ELM, and then systematically analyze the convergence rate of an enhanced CI-ELM. Different from CI-ELM, the hidden neurons of the two algorithms are chosen by following the maximum or optimality principle under the same structure as CI-ELM. Further, the proof process also demonstrates that our algorithms achieve smaller residual errors than CI-ELM. Since the proposed neural networks remove these “useless” neurons, they improve the efficiency of neural networks. The experimental results on benchmark regression problems will support our conclusions. The work is under the funding of Singapore MOE AcRF Tier 1 grant WBS No: R 252-000-221-112.

Online face recognition system based on multi-view algorithm and Kernel PCA

An online face recognition system is presented in the paper. To online face recognition system, we should consider the recognition rate, the image compression and image size. In the paper we researched the innovation technologies for face recognition system, including Kernel Principal Component Analysis （Kernel PCA）, Delta low-pass wavelet filter, and face recognition algorithm using multiple images. Kernel PCA is derived to classify the characteristics of training images in the database. Delta low-pass wavelet filter is used to reduce the image size. A face recognition algorithm using multiple images is presented to improve the recognition rate. Simulation experiment shows that in the case of packet loss recognition rate is improved highly.     

MCLP-based methods for improving “Bad” catching rate in credit cardholder behavior analysis

Cardholders’ behavior prediction is an important issue in credit card portfolio management. As a promising data mining approach, multiple criteria programming (MCLP) has been successfully applied to classify credit cardholders’ behavior into two groups. In order to better control credit risk for financial institutes, this paper proposes three methods based on MCLP to improve the “Bad” catching accuracy rate. One is called MCLP with unbalanced training set selection, the second is called fuzzy linear programming (FLP) method with moving boundary, and the third is called penalized multi criteria linear programming (PMCLP). The experimental examples demonstrate the promising performance of these methods.     

Effects of shear rate and small periodic corrugation on the slip velocity in microscopic domain

We obtain analytically the slip velocity (up to the second order) of shear-thinning fluids inside the periodically corrugated microtube by using the verified fluid model and boundary perturbation method. Our results show that, even the slip length being zero, there is a slip velocity which is proportional to the small amplitude of periodic corrugation, the (referenced) shear rate, the applied forcing, and the orientation or the angle. Our results could be applied to the flow control in microfluidics as well as biofluidics.     

Classification of metabolic and respiratory demands in fire fighting activity with extreme workloads

Fire fighting work comprises work tasks requiring an energy yield at maximal or close to maximal levels of the individual. Due to the very nature of fire fighting more complex physiological variables are difficult to measure. We measured metabolic and respiratory responses in 15 male, professional fire fighters during simulated work tasks on a test ground. Work time was on the average 22 min with individual components of work tasks lasting 2-4 min. The mean oxygen consumption for the whole exercise (22 min) was 2.75+/-0.29 l/min. The most demanding work task demanded an oxygen uptake of 3.55+/-0.27 l/min. Corresponding values for respiratory minute volumes were 82+/-14 and 102+/-14l/min, respectively. Heart rates averaged 168+/-12 for the whole test and 179+/-13 beats/min for the heaviest work task. Two new classes for classification of intensive and exhausting, short term physical work are proposed for inclusion in ISO8996 and values for relevant parameters are proposed.
