Short Term Traffic Flow Prediction Using Hybrid Deep Learning

Traffic flow prediction in urban areas is essential in the IntelligentTransportation System (ITS). Short Term Traffic Flow (STTF) predictionimpacts traffic flow series, where an estimation of the number of vehicleswill appear during the next instance of time per hour. Precise STTF iscritical in Intelligent Transportation System. Various extinct systems aim forshort-term traffic forecasts, ensuring a good precision outcome which was asignificant task over the past few years. The main objective of this paper is topropose a new model to predict STTF for every hour of a day. In this paper,we have proposed a novel hybrid algorithm utilizing Principal ComponentAnalysis (PCA), Stacked Auto-Encoder (SAE), Long Short Term Memory(LSTM), and K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN) named PALKNN. Firstly, PCAremoves unwanted information from the dataset and selects essential features.Secondly, SAE is used to reduce the dimension of input data using onehotencoding so the model can be trained with better speed. Thirdly, LSTMtakes the input from SAE, where the data is sorted in ascending orderbased on the important features and generates the derived value. Finally,KNN Regressor takes information from LSTM to predict traffic flow. Theforecasting performance of the PALKNN model is investigated with OpenRoad Traffic Statistics dataset, Great Britain, UK. This paper enhanced thetraffic flow prediction for every hour of a day with a minimal error value.An extensive experimental analysis was performed on the benchmark dataset.The evaluated results indicate the significant improvement of the proposedPALKNN model over the recent approaches such as KNN, SARIMA, LogisticRegression, RNN, and LSTM in terms of root mean square error (RMSE)of 2.07%, mean square error (MSE) of 4.1%, and mean absolute error (MAE)of 2.04%.

Gaussian Kernel Based SVR Model for Short-Term Photovoltaic MPP Power Prediction

Predicting the power obtained at the output of the photovoltaic(PV)system is fundamental for the optimum use of the PV system.However,it varies at different times of the day depending on intermittent and nonlinear environmen-tal conditions including solar irradiation,temperature and the wind speed,Short-term power prediction is vital in PV systems to reconcile generation and demand in terms of the cost and capacity of the reserve.In this study,a Gaussian kernel based Support Vector Regression(SVR)prediction model using multiple input variables is proposed for estimating the maximum power obtained from using per-turb observation method in the different irradiation and the different temperatures for a short-term in the DC-DC boost converter at the PV system.The performance of the kernel-based prediction model depends on the availability of a suitable ker-nel function that matches the learning objective,since an unsuitable kernel func-tion or hyper parameter tuning results in significantly poor performance.In this study for thefirst time in the literature both maximum power is obtained at max-imum power point and short-term maximum power estimation is made.While evaluating the performance of the suggested model,the PV power data simulated at variable irradiations and variable temperatures for one day in the PV system simulated in MATLAB were used.The maximum power obtained from the simu-lated system at maximum irradiance was 852.6 W.The accuracy and the perfor-mance evaluation of suggested forecasting model were identified utilizing the computing error statistics such as root mean square error(RMSE)and mean square error(MSE)values.MSE and RMSE rates which obtained were 4.5566*10-04 and 0.0213 using ANN model.MSE and RMSE rates which obtained were 13.0000*10-04 and 0.0362 using SWD-FFNN model.Using SVR model,1.1548*10-05 MSE and 0.0034 RMSE rates were obtained.In the short-term maximum power prediction,SVR gave higher prediction performance according to ANN and SWD-FFNN.

A Study on Hydroelastic Response of Box-Type Very Large Floating Structures

The application of very large floating structure (VLFS) to the utilization of ocean space and exploitation of ocean resources has become one of the issues of great interest in international ocean engineering field. Owing to the advantage of simplicity in structure and low cost of construction and maintenance, box-type VLFS can be used in the calm water area near the coast as the structure configuration of floating airport. In this paper, a 3D linear hydroelastic theory is used to study the dynamic response of box-type VLFS in sinusoidal regular waves. A beam model and a 3D FEM model are respectively employed to describe the dynamic characteristics of the box-type Structure in vacuum. A hydrodynamic model (3D potential theory of flexible body) is applied to investigate the effect of different dry models on the hydroelastic response of box-type structure. Based on the calculation of hydroelastic response in regular waves, the rigid body motion displacement, flexible deflection, and the short term and long term wave induced bending moments are also predicted.
