文摘Traffic congestion plays a significant role in intelligent transportation systems(ITS)due to rapid urbanization and increased vehicle concentration.The congestion is dependent on multiple factors,such as limited road occupancy and vehicle density.Therefore,the transportation system requires an effective prediction model to reduce congestion issues in a dynamic environment.Conventional prediction systems face difficulties in identifying highly congested areas,which leads to reduced prediction accuracy.The problem is addressed by integrating Graph Neural Networks(GNN)with the Lion Swarm Optimization(LSO)framework to tackle the congestion prediction problem.Initially,the traffic information is collected and processed through a normalization process to scale the data and mitigate issues of overfitting and high dimensionality.Then,the traffic flow and temporal characteristic features are extracted to identify the connectivity of the road segment.From the connectivity and node relationship graph,modeling improves the overall prediction accuracy.During the analysis,the lion swarm optimization process utilizes the concepts of exploration and exploitation to understand the complex traffic dependencies,which helps predict high congestion on roads with minimal deviation errors.There are three core optimization phases:roaming,hunting,and migration,which enable the framework to make dynamic adjustments to enhance the predictions.The framework’s efficacy is evaluated using benchmark datasets,where the proposed work achieves 99.2%accuracy and minimizes the prediction deviation value by up to 2.5%compared to other methods.With the new framework,there was a more accurate prediction of realtime congestion,lower computational cost,and improved regulation of traffic flow.This system is easily implemented in intelligent transportation systems,smart cities,and self-driving cars,providing a robust and scalable solution for future traffic management.

文摘This paper proposes a model-based control framework for vehicle platooning systems with secondorder nonlinear dynamics operating over switching signed networks,time-varying delays,and deception attacks.The study includes two configurations:a leaderless structure using Finite-Time Non-Singular Terminal Bipartite Consensus(FNTBC)and Fixed-Time Bipartite Consensus(FXTBC),and a leader—follower structure ensuring structural balance and robustness against deceptive signals.In the leaderless model,a bipartite controller based on impulsive control theory,gauge transformation,and Markovian switching Lyapunov functions ensures mean-square stability and coordination under deception attacks and communication delays.The FNTBC achieves finite-time convergence depending on initial conditions,while the FXTBC guarantees fixed-time convergence independent of them,providing adaptability to different operating states.In the leader—follower case,a discontinuous impulsive control law synchronizes all followers with the leader despite deceptive attacks and switching topologies,maintaining robust coordination through nonlinear corrective mechanisms.To validate the approach,simulations are conducted on systems of five and seventeen vehicles in both leaderless and leader—follower configurations.The results demonstrate that the proposed framework achieves rapid consensus,strong robustness,and high resistance to deception attacks,offering a secure and scalable model-based control solution for modern vehicular communication networks.

文摘Fractional differential equations(FDEs)provide a powerful tool for modeling systems with memory and non-local effects,but understanding their underlying structure remains a significant challenge.While numerous numerical and semi-analytical methods exist to find solutions,new approaches are needed to analyze the intrinsic properties of the FDEs themselves.This paper introduces a novel computational framework for the structural analysis of FDEs involving iterated Caputo derivatives.The methodology is based on a transformation that recasts the original FDE into an equivalent higher-order form,represented as the sum of a closed-form,integer-order component G(y)and a residual fractional power seriesΨ(x).This transformed FDE is subsequently reduced to a first-order ordinary differential equation(ODE).The primary novelty of the proposed methodology lies in treating the structure of the integer-order component G(y)not as fixed,but as a parameterizable polynomial whose coefficients can be determined via global optimization.Using particle swarm optimization,the framework identifies an optimal ODE architecture by minimizing a dual objective that balances solution accuracy against a high-fidelity reference and the magnitude of the truncated residual series.The effectiveness of the approach is demonstrated on both a linear FDE and a nonlinear fractional Riccati equation.Results demonstrate that the framework successfully identifies an optimal,low-degree polynomial ODE architecture that is not necessarily identical to the forcing function of the original FDE.This work provides a new tool for analyzing the underlying structure of FDEs and gaining deeper insights into the interplay between local and non-local dynamics in fractional systems.

文摘License plate recognition in haze-affected images is challenging due to feature distortions such as blurring and elongation,which lead to pixel displacements.This article introduces a Displacement Region Recognition Method(DR2M)to address such a problem.This method operates on displaced features compared to the training input observed throughout definite time frames.The technique focuses on detecting features that remain relatively stable under haze,using a frame-based analysis to isolate edges minimally affected by visual noise.The edge detection failures are identified using a bilateral neural network through displaced feature training.The training converges bilaterally towards the minimum edges from the maximum region.Thus,the training input and detected edges are used to identify the displacement between observed image frames to extract and differentiate the license plate region from the other vehicle regions.The proposed method maps the similarity feature between the detected and identified vehicle regions.This aids in leveraging the plate recognition precision with a high F1 score.Thus,this technique achieves a 10.27%improvement in identification precision,a 10.57%increase in F1 score,and a 9.73%reduction in false positive rate compared to baseline methods under maximum displacement conditions caused by haze.The technique attains an identification precision of 95.68%,an F1 score of 94.68%,and a false positive rate of 4.32%,indicating robust performance under haze-affected settings.

文摘Image-based computational models have been used for vulnerable plaque progression and rupture predictions,and good results have been reported.However,mechanisms and predictions for plaque erosion are underinvestigated.Patient-specific fluid-structure interaction(FSI)models based on optical coherence tomography(OCT)follow-up data from patients with plaque erosion and who received conservative antithrombotic treatment(using medication,no stenting)to identify risk factors that could be used to predict the treatment outcome.OCT and angiography datawere obtained from10 patientswho received conservative antithrombotic treatment.Five participants had worse outcomes(WOG,stenosis severity≥70%at one-year follow-up),while the other five had better outcomes(BOG,stenosis severity<70%at one-year follow-up).Patient-specific 3D FSI models were constructed to obtain morphological and biomechanical risk factor values(a total of nine risk factors)for comparison and prediction.A logistic regressionmodel was used to identify optimal predictors with the best treatment outcome prediction accuracies.Our results indicated that the combination of wall shear stress(WSS),lipid percent,and thrombus burden was the best group predictor according to the mean area under the curve(AUC)of 0.96(90%confidence interval=(0.85,1.00)).WSS was the best single predictor withmean AUC=0.70(90%confidence interval=(0.20,1.00)).Thrombus burden was the only risk factor showing statistically significant group difference,suggesting its crucial role in the outcomes of conservative anti-thrombotic therapy.This pilot study indicated that integratingmorphological and biomechanical risk factors could improve treatment outcome prediction accuracy in patients with plaque erosion compared to predictions using single predictors.Large-scale patient studies are needed to further validate our findings.
