چکیده

The demand bus is a new transportation means, which is timely planned and runs order by order in accordance with independent requests of individual customers. Demand buses are alternative transportation vehicles, replacing traditional routing-oriented buses. In this paper, the authors address the characteristic issues, attend to the practical operations, and estimate and evaluate the trade-off strategies between usage convenience and cost management. The main idea, which is established from the features among parameters interpretatively, is to make use of visualization techniques and apply a self-organizing map (SOM) to this visualization. The authors display the co-related classification results computed individually from several selected parameters to keep their meaningful correspondence.

The Time Adaptive Self Organizing Map for Distribution Estimation

The feature map represented by the set of weight vectors of the basic SOM (Self-Organizing Map) provides a good approximation to the input space from which the sample vectors come. But the timedecreasing learning rate and neighborhood function of the basic SOM algorithm reduce its capability to adapt weights for a varied environment. In dealing with non-stationary input distributions and changi...

Estimation of Missing Daily Precipitation and Runoff Using Self-Organizing Map (A Case Study: Mazandaran Province)

Expert aquatic designers face many problems; among these, in hydrology, defective occurrences in time-series can cause errors in the ultimate results of the study. This more often happens in the regions where the number of hydrometric and rain gauge stations is limited. In addition, assessing, developing and maintaining the use of water resources require accessible long-term and high-quality qu...
