Optimizing Metro Passenger Flow Prediction: Integrating Machine Learning and Time-Series Analysis with Multimodal Data Fusion

Accurate passenger flow forecasting is crucial in urban areas with growing transit demand. In this paper, we propose a method that combines advanced machine learning with rigorous time series analysis to improve prediction accuracy by integrating different datasets, providing a prescriptive example for passenger flow prediction in urban rail transit systems. The study employs advanced machine learning algorithms and proposes a novel prediction model that combines two-stage decomposition (seasonal and trend decomposition using LOESS–ensemble empirical mode decomposition (STL-EEMD)) and gated recurrent units. First, the STL decomposition algorithm is applied to break down the preprocessed data into trend terms, periodic terms, and irregular fluctuation terms. Then, the EEMD decomposition algorithm is employed to further decompose the irregular fluctuation terms, yielding multiple IMF components and residual residuals. Subsequently, the decomposed data from STL and EEMD are partitioned into training and test sets and normalized. The training set is utilized to train the model for optimal performance in predicting subway short-time passenger flow. The synthesis of these sophisticated methodologies serves to substantially enhance both the predictive precision and the broad applicability of the forecasting models. The efficacy of the proposed approach is rigorously evaluated through its application to empirical metro passenger flow datasets from diverse urban centers, demonstrating marked superiority in predictive performance over traditional forecasting methods. The insights gleaned from this study bear significant ramifications for the strategic planning and administration of public transportation infrastructures, potentially leading to more strategic resource allocation and an enhanced commuter experience.

Objective estimation of m-CTSIB balance test scores using wearable sensors and machine learning.

Accurate balance assessment is important in healthcare for identifying and managing conditions affecting stability and coordination. It plays a key role in preventing falls, understanding movement disorders, and designing appropriate therapeutic interventions across various age groups and medical conditions. However, traditional balance assessment methods often suffer from subjectivity, lack of comprehensive balance assessments and remote assessment capabilities, and reliance on specialized equipment and expert analysis. In response to these challenges, our study introduces an innovative approach for estimating scores on the Modified Clinical Test of Sensory Interaction on Balance (m-CTSIB). Utilizing wearable sensors and advanced machine learning algorithms, we offer an objective, accessible, and efficient method for balance assessment. We collected comprehensive movement data from 34 participants under four different sensory conditions using an array of inertial measurement unit (IMU) sensors coupled with a specialized system to evaluate ground truth m-CTSIB balance scores for our analysis. This data was then preprocessed, and an extensive array of features was extracted for analysis. To estimate the m-CTSIB scores, we applied Multiple Linear Regression (MLR), Support Vector Regression (SVR), and XGBOOST algorithms. Our subject-wise Leave-One-Out and 5-Fold cross-validation analysis demonstrated high accuracy and a strong correlation with ground truth balance scores, validating the effectiveness and reliability of our approach. Key insights were gained regarding the significance of specific movements, feature selection, and sensor placement in balance estimation. Notably, the XGBOOST model, utilizing the lumbar sensor data, achieved outstanding results in both methods, with Leave-One-Out cross-validation showing a correlation of 0.96 and a Mean Absolute Error (MAE) of 0.23 and 5-fold cross-validation showing comparable results with a correlation of 0.92 and an MAE of 0.23, confirming the model's consistent performance.

Powder BED Additive Manufacturing using Machine Learning Algorithms for Multidisciplinary Applications: A Review and Outlook

Abstract: Additive manufacturing overcomes the limitations associated with conventional processes, such as fabricating complex parts, material wastage, and a number of sequential operations. Powder-bed additives fall under the category of additive manufacturing process, which, in recent years, has captured the attention of researchers and scientists working in various fields of science and engineering. Production of powder bed additive manufacturing (PBAM) parts with consistent and predictable properties of powders used during the manufacturing process plays an important role in deciding printed parts' reliability in aeronautical, automobile, biomedical, and healthcare applications. In the PBAM process, the most commonly used powders are polymer, metal, and ceramic, which cannot be effectively used without understanding powder particles' physical, mechanical, and chemical properties. Several metallic powders like titanium, steel, copper, aluminum, and nickel, several polymer polyamides (nylon), polylactide, polycarbonate, glass-filled nylon, epoxy resins, etc., and the most commonly used ceramic powders like aluminum oxide (Al2O) and zirconium oxide (ZrO2) can be utilized depending upon the method being adopted during PBAM process. Adoption of some post-processing techniques for powder, such as grain refinement can also be employed to improve the physical or mechanical properties of powders used for the PBAM process. In this paper, the effect of powder parameters, such as particle size, shape, density, and reusing of powder, etc., on printed parts have been reviewed in detail using characterization techniques such as X-ray computed tomography, scanning electron microscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. This helps to understand the effect of particle size, shape, density, virgin and reused powders, etc., used during the PBAM process. This article has reviewed the selection of appropriate process parameters like laser power, scanning speed, hatch spacing, and layer thickness and their effects on various mechanical or physical properties, such as tensile strength, hardness, and the effect of porosity, along with the microstructure evolution. One of the drawbacks of additive manufacturing is the variability in the quality of printed parts, which can be eliminated by monitoring the process using machine learning techniques. Also, the prediction of the best combination of process parameters using some advanced machine learning algorithms (MLA), like random forest, k nearest neighbors, and support vector machine, can be effectively utilized to quantify the performance parameters in the PBAM process. Thus, implementing machine learning in the additive manufacturing process not only helps to learn the fundamentals but helps to identify, predict and help to make actionable recommendations that help optimize printed parts quality. The performance of various MLAs has been evaluated and compared for projecting future research directions and suggestions. In the last part of this article, multidisciplinary applications of the PBAM process have been reviewed in detail. Additive manufacturing processes carried out by using conventional machines, called hybrid additive manufacturing, have also been reviewed by discussing their methods and arrangements in detail.
