Developing urban infrastructure constructions for increasing e-commerce sales: the moderating roles of aging population

PurposeThe aging population, a higher proportion of older adults (aged 65+), is considered a global and severe problem, while the information systems (IS) literature on detecting the relationship between the aging population and the development of electronic commerce (e-commerce) is limited and insufficient. Hence, the main objective of this paper is to examine whether an aging population can moderate the effect of infrastructure constructions on e-commerce sales and whether an aging population can affect e-commerce sales.Design/methodology/approachTo investigate the relationship between the aging population and e-commerce sales, this study proposes two potential influential mechanisms: moderating the effects of infrastructure development on e-commerce sales and direct influence. Subsequently, a sample of 31 Chinese provinces from 2013 to 2019 is utilized to conduct regression analyses in order to examine these hypotheses.FindingsThe findings suggest that the development of urban transportation infrastructure and network constructions can significantly contribute to the enhancement of e-commerce sales, and the influence cannot be affected by aging population. Furthermore, it is noteworthy that an aging population can have a positive effect on e-commerce sales.Practical implicationsThe findings can inform future infrastructure constructions by assessing the potential of infrastructure projects to boost e-commerce sales and examining whether this effect varies in an aging population context.Originality/valueThe findings substantiate the pivotal role of older adults in the e-commerce industry. Moreover, the obtained results establish a positive relationship between an aging population and e-commerce sales, thereby offering diverse perspectives on existing theories.

Utilizing a Fractional-Order Grey Model to Predict the Development Trends of China’s Electronic Commerce Service Industry

Electronic commerce plays a vital role in the digital age, and the creation of a good electronic commerce ecosystem is crucial to maintaining economic growth. The electronic commerce service industry is a leading indicator of electronic commerce development, and its possible changes imply the future trends and innovation directions of the electronic commerce industry. An accurate grasp of the possible future revenue scale of the electronic commerce service industry can provide decision-making information for government policy formulation. Electronic commerce companies must formulate operational plans based on the latest information to determine strategic directions that are reasonable and consistent with the actual situation. Although there exist many prediction methods, they often fail to produce ideal results when the number of observations is insufficient. The fractional-order grey model is a common method used to deal with small data set prediction problems. This study therefore proposes a new modeling procedure for the fractional-order grey model to predict the revenue scale of China’s electronic commerce service industry. The results of experiments demonstrate that the proposed procedure can yield robust outputs under the condition of small data sets to reduce decision-making risks. Therefore, it can be regarded as a practical small data set analysis tool for managers.

Parameter Matching of Power Systems and Design of Vehicle Control Strategies for Mini-Electric Trucks

Mini-electric trucks have been widely used because of their high efficiency and zero emission with the rapid development of electronic commerce and express industry. So, improvement of dynamic performance and economy becomes crucial. The research in this field mainly focuses on passenger vehicles at present. However, most passenger vehicles are front−engine, front-drive vehicles; for mini trucks of front−engine and rear-drive, if the dynamics model of passenger vehicles is applied to mini−electric trucks, the dynamic parameters calculated will not be accurate. To enhance the accuracy of the dynamic parameters of mini-electric trucks, by combining the characteristics of mini trucks, the dynamic parameters are designed, and the types of drive motors and power batteries are selected, the dynamic model of mini−electric trucks is established. To improve the economy, control strategies, with five working modes switching, were established. On this basis, the simulation model is established, and the dynamic and economy simulation analysis and performance test were carried out. In applying the method, the error rate of maximum speed, acceleration time, and maximum gradient between simulation results and test results are 0.641% and 5.63% (15.328%), respectively, proving that the dynamic index has reached the expected value and endurance mileage is up to 295 Km under UDC conditions, increased by 5% after the vehicle control strategy was adopted. The results show that the parameter matching is reasonable and the vehicle control strategy is suitable for mini-electric trucks. The research method and conclusions can provide valuable references for the development of power systems for mini−electric trucks.

A Machine Learning Method with Hybrid Feature Selection for Improved Credit Card Fraud Detection

With the rapid developments in electronic commerce and digital payment technologies, credit card transactions have increased significantly. Machine learning (ML) has been vital in analyzing customer data to detect and prevent fraud. However, the presence of redundant and irrelevant features in most real-world credit card data degrades the performance of ML classifiers. This study proposes a hybrid feature-selection technique consisting of filter and wrapper feature-selection steps to ensure that only the most relevant features are used for machine learning. The proposed method uses the information gain (IG) technique to rank the features, and the top-ranked features are fed to a genetic algorithm (GA) wrapper, which uses the extreme learning machine (ELM) as the learning algorithm. Meanwhile, the proposed GA wrapper is optimized for imbalanced classification using the geometric mean (G-mean) as the fitness function instead of the conventional accuracy metric. The proposed approach achieved a sensitivity and specificity of 0.997 and 0.994, respectively, outperforming other baseline techniques and methods in the recent literature.
