Parallel Distributed Processing of Transportation / Land Use Systems: Theory and Modelling with Neural Networks
نویسنده
چکیده
Abstract: We provide in this conceptual paper an overview of a parallel transportation / land use modeling environment. We argue that sequential urban modeling does not well represent complex urban dynamics. Instead, we suggest a parallel distributed processing structure composed of processors and links between processors. Each processor is a set of neurons and weights between neurons forming a neural network. For spatial systems neural networks have two main paradigms which are processes simulation and pattern association. Parallel distributed processing offers a new methodology to represent the relational structure between elements of a transportation / land use system and thus helping to model those systems. We also provide a set of advantages, drawbacks and some research directions about the usage of neural networks for spatial analysis and modeling.

Floating offshore structures, particularly floating oil production, storage and offloading systems (FPSOs) are still in great demand, both in small and large reservoirs, for deployment in deep water. The prediction of such vessels’ responses to her environmental loading over her lifetime is now often undertaken using response-based design methodology, although the approach is still in its...

متن کاملAdaptive Leader-Following and Leaderless Consensus of a Class of Nonlinear Systems Using Neural Networks
This paper deals with leader-following and leaderless consensus problems of high-order multi-input/multi-output (MIMO) multi-agent systems with unknown nonlinear dynamics in the presence of uncertain external disturbances. The agents may have different dynamics and communicate together under a directed graph. A distributed adaptive method is designed for both cases. The structures of the contro...
