Abstract

The issue of road traffic congestion has become increasingly apparent in modern times. With the rise of urbanization, technological advancements, and an increase in the number of vehicles on the road, almost all major cities are experiencing poor traffic environments and low road efficiency. To address this problem, researchers have turned to diverse data resources and focused on predicting traffic flow, a crucial issue in Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) that can help alleviate congestion. By analyzing data from correlated roads and vehicles, such as speed, density, and flow rate, it is possible to anticipate traffic congestion and patterns. This paper presents an adaptive traffic system that utilizes supervised machine learning and big data analytics to predict traffic flow. The system monitors and extracts relevant traffic flow data, analyzes and processes the data, and stores it to enhance the model's accuracy and effectiveness. A simulation was conducted by the authors to showcase the proposed solution. The outcomes of the study carry substantial implications for transportation systems, offering valuable insights for enhancing traffic flow management.

Abstract

Recognition of traffic signs is a challenging task that can enhance road safety. Deep neural networks have demonstrated remarkable results in numerous applications, such as traffic signs recognition. In this paper, we propose an innovative and efficient system for recognizing traffic signs, based on customized convolutional neural network (CNN) developed through hyperparameters optimization. The effectiveness of the proposed system is assessed using a novel dataset, the Moroccan traffic signs dataset. The results show that the proposed design recognizes traffic signs with an accuracy of 0.9898, outperforming several CNN architectures such as VGGNet, DensNet, and ResNet.

Abstract

Confronted with the ongoing demographic shift characterized by an aging population, society grapples with emerging challenges that extend beyond the provision of targeted health services for the elderly. The focus has broadened to encompass the promotion of well-being and vitality throughout the aging process. Addressing these multifaceted issues demands a comprehensive approach that integrates biomedical components with physical, psychological, and social interventions. In the context of my project, a unique strategy is employed, placing significant emphasis on leveraging big data analytics and machine learning. The primary objective is to systematically observe and characterize the physiological conditions of the elderly, facilitating healthcare professionals in monitoring behaviors and promoting active aging. This undertaking involves meticulous data collection and analysis, employing machine learning algorithms (support vector machine (SVM), gradient boosting) within a framework that harnesses extensive data analytics. Ultimately, this approach enables the identification and characterization of daily routines and physiological states of individuals, contributing to a holistic understanding of aging.

Abstract

The burgeoning demand for efficient urban traffic management necessitates accurate prediction of traffic congestion, spotlighting the essence of time series data analysis. This paper delves into the utilization of sophisticated deep learning methodologies, particularly long short-term memory (LSTM) networks, convolutional neural networks (CNN), and their amalgamations like Conv-LSTM and bidirectional-LSTM (Bi-LSTM), to elevate the precision of traffic pattern forecasting. These techniques showcase promise in encapsulating the intricate dynamics of traffic flow, yet their efficacy hinges upon the quality of input data, emphasizing the pivotal role of data preprocessing. This study meticulously investigates diverse preprocessing techniques encompassing normalization, transformation, outlier detection, and feature engineering. Its discerning implementation significantly heightens the performance of deep learning models. By synthesizing advanced deep learning architectures with varied preprocessing methodologies, this research presents invaluable insights fostering enhanced accuracy and reliability in traffic prediction. The innovative RD-LSTM approach introduced herein harnesses the hybridization of a reverse AutoEncoder and LSTM models, marking a novel contribution to the field. The implementation of these progressive strategies within urban traffic management portends substantial enhancements in efficiency and congestion mitigation. Ultimately, these advancements pave the way for a superior urban experience, enriching the quality of life within cities through optimized traffic management systems.
