    It is essential for intelligent transportation systems to be capable of producing an accurate forecast of traffic flow in both the short and long terms. However, the counting datasets of traffic volume are non-stationary time series, which are integrally noisy. As a result, the accuracy of traffic prediction carried out on such unrefined data is reduced by the arbitrary components. A prior study shows that Box-Jenkins’ Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) models convey demand of noise-free dataset for model construction. Therefore, this study proposes to overcome the noise issue by using a hybrid approach that combines the ARIMA model with fuzzy wavelet transform. In this approach, fuzzy rules are developed to categorize traffic datasets according to influencing factors such as the time of a day, the season of a year, and weather conditions. As the input of linear data series for ARIMA model needs to be converted into linear time series for traffic flow prediction, the discrete wavelet transform is applied to help separating the nonlinear and linear part of the time series along with denoised time series traffic data

    The rapid development of urban areas and the increasing size of vehicle fleets are causing severe traffic congestions. According to traffic index data (Tom Tom Traffic Index 2016), most of the larger cities in Canada placed between 30th and 100th most traffic congested cities in the world. A recent research study by CAA (Canadian Automotive Association) concludes traffic congestions cost drivers 11.5 million hours and 22 million liters of fuel each year that causes billions of dollars in lost revenues. Although for four decades’ active research has been going on to improve transportation management, statistical data shows the demand for new methods to predict traffic flow with improved accuracy. This research presents a hybrid approach that applies a wavelet transform on a time-frequency (traffic count/hour) signal to determine sharp variation points of traffic flow. Datasets in between sharp variation points reveal segments of data with similar trends. These sets of data, construct fuzzy membership sets by categorizing the processed data together with other recorded information such as time, season, and weather. When real-time data is compared with the historical data using fuzzy IF-THEN rules, a matched dataset represents a reliable source of information for traffic prediction. In addition to the proposed new method, this research work also includes experiment results to demonstrate the improvement of accuracy for long-term traffic flow prediction

    A Promising Wavelet Decomposition –NNARX Model to Predict Flood: Application to Kelantan River Flood

    Flood is a major disaster that happens around the world. It has caused many casualties and massive destruction of property. Estimating the chance of a flood occurring depends on several factors, such as rainfall, the structure and the flow rate of the river. This research used the neural network autoregressive exogenous input (NNARX) model to predict floods. One of the research challenges was to develop accurate models and improve the forecasting model. This research aimed to improve the performance of the neural network model for flood prediction. A new technique was proposed for modelling nonlinear data of flood forecasting using the wavelet decomposition-NNARX approach. This paper discusses the process of identifying the parameters involved to make a forecast as the rainfall value requires the flow rate of the river and its water level. The original data were processed by wavelet decomposition and filtered to generate a new set of data for the NNARX prediction model where the process can be compared. This research compared the performance of the wavelet and the non-wavelet NNARX model. Experimental results showed that the proposed approach had better performance testing results in relation to its counterpart in terms of hourly forecast, with the mean square error (MSE) of 2.0491e-4 m2 compared to 6.1642e-4 m2, respectively. The proposed approach was also studied for long-term forecast up to 5 years, where the obtained MSE was higher, i.e., 0.0016 m2

    This study presents a novel hybrid model that combines two different algorithms to increase the accuracy of short-term berry yield prediction using only previous yield data. The model integrates both autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) with Kalman filter refinement and neural network techniques, specifically support vector regression (SVR), and nonlinear autoregressive (NAR) neural networks, to improve prediction accuracy by correcting the errors generated by the system. In order to enhance the prediction performance of the ARIMA model, an innovative method is introduced that reduces randomness and incorporates only observed variables and system errors into the state-space system. The results indicate that the proposed hybrid models exhibit greater accuracy in predicting weekly production, with a goodness-of-fit value above 0.95 and lower root mean square error (RMSE) and mean absolute error (MAE) values compared with non-hybrid models. The study highlights several implications, including the potential for small growers to use digital strategies that offer crop forecasts to increase sales and promote loyalty in relationships with large food retail chains. Additionally, accurate yield forecasting can help berry growers plan their production schedules and optimize resource use, leading to increased efficiency and profitability. The proposed model may serve as a valuable information source for European food retailers, enabling growers to form strategic alliances with their customers

    With the increasing demand of energy, the energy production is not that much sufficient and that’s why it has become an important issue to make accurate prediction of energy consumption for efficient management of energy. Hence appropriate demand side forecasting has a great economical worth. Objective of our paper is to render representations of a suitable time series forecasting model using autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) and Holt Winters model for the energy consumption of Ohio/Kentucky and also predict the accuracy considering different periods (daily, weekly, monthly). We apply these two models and observe that Holt Winters model outperforms ARIMA model in each (daily, weekly and monthly observations) of the cases. We also make a comparison among few other existing analyses of time series forecasting and find out that the mean absolute percentage error (MASE) of Holt Winters model is least considering the monthly data

    Accurate time series prediction techniques are becoming fundamental to modern decision support systems. As massive data processing develops in its practicality, machine learning (ML) techniques applied to time series can automate and improve prediction models. The radical novelty of this paper is the development of a hybrid model that combines a new approach to the classical Kalman filter with machine learning techniques, i.e., support vector regression (SVR) and nonlinear autoregressive (NAR) neural networks, to improve the performance of existing predictive models. The proposed hybrid model uses, on the one hand, an improved Kalman filter method that eliminates the convergence problems of time series data with large error variance and, on the other hand, an ML algorithm as a correction factor to predict the model error. The results reveal that our hybrid models obtain accurate predictions, substantially reducing the root mean square and absolute mean errors compared to the classical and alternative Kalman filter models and achieving a goodness of fit greater than 0.95. Furthermore, the generalization of this algorithm was confirmed by its validation in two different scenariosThe authors acknowledge the support provided by the companies that released the data used for the analysi

    Chlorophyll concentration can well reflect the nutritional status and algal blooms of water bodies, and is an important indicator for evaluating water quality. The prediction of chlorophyll concentration change trend is of great significance to environmental protection and aquaculture. However, there is a complex and indistinguishable nonlinear relationship between many factors affecting chlorophyll concentration. In order to effectively mine the nonlinear features contained in the data. This paper proposes a time-series decomposition adaptive graph-time convolutional network ( AGTCNSD ) prediction model. Firstly, the original sequence is decomposed into trend component and periodic component by moving average method. Secondly, based on the graph convolutional neural network, the water quality parameter data is modeled, and a parameter embedding matrix is defined. The idea of matrix decomposition is used to assign weight parameters to each node. The adaptive graph convolution learns the relationship between different water quality parameters, updates the state information of each parameter, and improves the learning ability of the update relationship between nodes. Finally, time dependence is captured by time convolution to achieve multi-step prediction of chlorophyll concentration. The validity of the model is verified by the water quality data of the coastal city Beihai. The results show that the prediction effect of this method is better than other methods. It can be used as a scientific resource for environmental management decision-making.Comment: 12 pages, 10 figures, 3 tables, 45 reference
