Reliability prediction of further transit service based on support vector machine

Abstract

The requirement for transit reliability grows with the increase of pace of life since unstable bus arrivals can raise the anxiety of waiting passengers. This paper proposes a reliability assessment method to evaluate the reliability of each bus stop on the route and the reliability of bus routes. In reliability prediction, the prediction target is locked by rolling horizon to reduce the interference of other information. In addition, a prediction method of the reliability of further transit service using the accurate online support vector machine is proposed. This prediction can provide more accurate and stable data for the arrival of buses and reduce unnecessary waiting of passengers. Finally, the reliability prediction method proposed is tested with the real data of a bus route in Dalian, China. The results show that the accurate online support vector machine with reasonable parameters can predict the reliability of transit service accurately.

Prediction of Cognitive Degeneration in Parkinson’s Disease Patients Using a Machine Learning Method

“…The SVMs try to find the decision boundary in the training data set to maximize the margin between the two classes to reduce the generalization error of the classifier. The maximum boundary hyperplane can be determined through various kernels to build a linear or nonlinear classification [ 31 , 32 , 33 ]. This study uses different kernel functions, including linear, RBF (radial basis function), and Poly (polynomial) functions to compare which model is better for predicting cognitive impairment.…”

A Support Vector Machine Based Prediction on Sensitivity to Coal Ash Blast for Different Degrees of Deterioration

“…Coal ash accidents are mainly coal and coal ash protrusion, coal ash blast, and coal ash asphyxiation injuries [1]. When such events occur, they not only cause significant losses to local mines and affect the normal process of coal production but also often cause incalculable economic and psychological damage to the employees of the enterprise, miners, and their families [2]. The frequency and intensity of coal mine accidents are alarming, and the level of safety management is still far from that of developed countries, especially because of insufficient safety investment [3].…”
