This method, is based on Hidden Markov Models and Self-Organizing Maps, and is named PROFHMM_UNC. PROFHMM_UNC combines the knowledge of the physical process under study provided by an already known dynamic model and the truncated time series of observations of the phenomenon. In order to generate the states of the Hidden Markov Model, Self-Organizing Maps are used to discretize the available data. We make a modification to the Viterbi algorithm that forces the algorithm to take into account a priori information on the quality of the observed data when selecting the optimum reconstruction. The validity of PROFHMM_UNC was endorsed by performing a twin experiment with the outputs of the ocean biogeochemical NEMO-PISCES model.展开更多

The infrastructural performances reflect design and geometrical characteristics of the HSR lines and stations. The technical/technological performances relate to the characteristics of rolling stock, i.e., high-speed trains, and supportive facilities and equipment, i.e., the power supply, signaling, and traffic control and management system（s）. The operational performances include the capacity and productivity of HSR lines and rolling stock, and quality of services. The economic per- formances refer to the HSR systems＇ costs, revenues, and their relationship. The social performances relate to the impacts of HSR systems on the society such as congestion, noise, and safety, and their externalities, and the effects in terms of contribution to the local and global/country social- economic development. Finally, the environmental performances of the HSR systems reflect their energy consumption and related emissions of green house gases, land use, and corresponding externalities.展开更多
