Using ANN and EPR models to predict carbon monoxide concentrations in urban area of Tabriz
نویسندگان
چکیده مقاله:
Background: Forecasting of air pollutants has become a popular topic of environmental research today. For this purpose, the artificial neural network (AAN) technique is widely used as a reliable method for forecasting air pollutants in urban areas. On the other hand, the evolutionary polynomial regression (EPR) model has recently been used as a forecasting tool in some environmental issues. In this research, we compared the ability of these models to forecast carbon monoxide (CO) concentrations in the urban area of Tabriz city. Methods: The dataset of CO concentrations measured at the fixed stations operated by the East Azerbaijan Environmental Office along with meteorological data obtained from the East Azerbaijan Meteorological Bureau from March 2007 to March 2013, were used as input for the ANN and EPR models. Results: Based on the results, the performance of ANN is more reliable in comparison with EPR. Using the ANN model, the correlation coefficient values at all monitoring stations were calculated above 0.85. Conversely, the R2 values for these stations were obtained <0.41 using the EPR model. Conclusion: The EPR model could not overcome the nonlinearities of input data. However, the ANN model displayed more accurate results compared to the EPR. Hence, the ANN models are robust tools for predicting air pollutant concentrations.

This study aims to predict daily carbon monoxide (CO) concentration in the atmosphere of Tehran by means of developed artificial neural network (ANN) and adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) models. Forward selection (FS) and Gamma test (GT) methods are used for selecting input variables and developing hybrid models with ANN and ANFIS. From 12 input candidates, 7 and 9 variables are se...
متن کاملDeveloping a methodology to predict PM10 concentrations in urban areas using generalized linear models.
A methodology to predict PM10 concentrations in urban outdoor environments is developed based on the generalized linear models (GLMs). The methodology is based on the relationship developed between atmospheric concentrations of air pollutants (i.e. CO, NO2, NOx, VOCs, SO2) and meteorological variables (i.e. ambient temperature, relative humidity (RH) and wind speed) for a city (Barreiro) of Por...

abstract soil salinity within plant root zone is one of the most important problems that cause reduction in yield in agricultural lands. in this research, salinity in soil profile was simulated in tabriz irrigation and drainage network using saltmod and artificial neural networks (anns) models. based on initial spatial distribution of salinity in soil profile, studying area was divided to 4 dif...
متن کاملModeling of carbon monoxide dispersion around the urban tunnel portals
The aim of this study is to investigate the problems caused by discharge of polluted air from tunnels into the environment with a specific focus on residential areas. In city tunnels, portal or stacks, pollutant management is a big challenge. Nowadays, air quality management, particularly in urban tunnels, is considered as a part of the ventilation system design. The goal is to see the environm...
