On-Line Modelling And Forecasting Of Carbon Monoxide Concentrations Using Hybird Multilayered Perceptron Network.

This paper discusses on-line modelling and forecasting of carbon monoxide (CO) concentrations using Hybrid Multilayered Perceptron (HMLP) Network. Th¢ HMLP network is trained using Modified Recursive Prediction Error (MRPE) algorithm

The Critical Success Factors For Public-Private Partnership Highway Construction Project in Malaysia

The Public-Private Partnership (PPP) approach has been widely used in the development of major infrastructure and building projects all over the world and is considered as one of the effective ways to achieve value-for-money procurement for the public sector. PPP usually requires public authorities and private contractors to collaborate through long-term concession contract where the latter has the obligation to provide the public services desired for the public sector. PPP has recently being introduced in Malaysia as a revised approach towards improving its existing privatization approach in the procurement of public sector projects. Thus, it is essential to determine the critical success factor (CSF) for public sector projects in Malaysia. The Butterworth Outer Ring Road (BORR), which is one of the PPP-oriented infrastructure projects currently operating in Malaysia, has been used as a case study in order to achieve this aim. An extensive interview and structured questionnaires have been used as data acquisition means to elicit the perception of public sector clients in regards to the CSF for the BORR project. As a result, effective communication system, good project governance, responsibility and commitment of public and private sectors, competitive procurement process and ability to delegate authority have been identified as the top five CSF for the BORR expressway in Malaysia

HMLP,MLP and Recurrent Networks for Carbon Monoxide Concentrations Forecasting: A Comparison Studies.

Carbon Monoxide (CO) is a primary pollutant in urban area, due to the major emission from motor vehicles. Forecasting of CO or other gas pollutants concentration are very important since preventive action can be taken if the forecasted CO level exceeds certain value

Mode choice for the journey to work during morning peak hour in Klang, Malaysia

This research presents the evaluation of trigger levels at the equilibrium condition which users’ mode choice is equal for both private vehicles and public transport. The new Park and Ride at the Klang Komuter Station will attract more private vehicles users. This study chose travel time as an important factor in triggering users’ mode choice either to choose public transport or private vehicles during morning peak hour. The surveys performed are Origin-Destination Survey and Travel Time Survey. The trigger levels were evaluated by using Graphical Analysis. The result shows that the travel time for Bus Sample 4 and Bus Sample 5 are perfectly equal to the travel time of car. The perfectly equal of travel time for both private and public transport is expected to increase the number of public transport users and reducing the massive private vehicles on the roa
