Forecasting Road Condition after Maintenance Works by Linear Methods and Radial Basis Function Networks

چکیده
Forecasting road condition after maintenance can help in better road maintenance planning. As road administrations annually collect and store road-related data, data-driven methods can be used in determining forecasting models that result in improved accuracy. In this paper, we compare the prediction models identified by experts and currently used in road administration with simple data-driven prediction models, and parsimonious models based on a input selection algorithm. Furthermore, non-linear prediction using radial basis function networks is performed. We estimate and validate the prediction models with a database containing data of over two million road segments.

متن کاملDay-ahead Price Forecasting of Electricity Markets by a New Hybrid Forecast Method
Energy price forecast is the key information for generating companies to prepare their bids in the electricity markets. However, this forecasting problem is complex due to nonlinear, non-stationary, and time variant behavior of electricity price time series. Accordingly, in this paper a new strategy is proposed for electricity price forecast. The forecast strategy includes Wavelet Transform (WT...
