Core damage assessment is of great importance to the emergency response of nuclear power plants. In this paper, the neural network method is introduced into the core damage assessment process. The hydrogen concentration, together with the temperature and pressure in the containment, are taken as the input parameters of the model. With the simulated result of MAAP codes as the sample data, a neural network model is developed to reconstruct the core overheating damage fraction. According to the calculation of the neural network model, the deviations of the reconstructed results are quite small compared with the simulation results, and one of the typical errors is 1.76%. It can be concluded that the model based on neural network method satisfies the analysis accuracy requirements and can be used as a diverse analytical tool in the core damage assessment of nuclear power plant.

We adapt concepts from the field of neural networks to assess the reliability of software, employing cumulative failures, reliability, remaining failures, and time to failure metrics. In addition, the risk of not achieving reliability, remaining failure, and time to failure goals are assessed. The purpose of the assessment is to compare a criterion, derived from a neural network model, for estimating the parameters of software reliability metrics, with the method of maximum likelihood estimation. To our surprise the neural network method proved superior for all the reliability metrics that were assessed by virtue of yielding lower prediction error and risk. We also found that considerable adaptation of the neural network model was necessary to be meaningful for our application – only inputs, functions, neurons, weights, activation units, and outputs were required to characterize our application.

There are several studies in the medical field that classify data to diagnose and analyze decisions. To predict breast cancer, this study compares two methods, the Support Vector Machine method and the Neural Network method based on Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) which is intended to determine the highest accuracy value in the Coimbra dataset data. To implement the Support Vector Machine and Neural Network method based on PSO, RapidMiner software is used. Then the application results are compared using Confusion Matrix and ROC Curve. Based on the accuracy of the two models, it is known that the PSO-based Neural Network model has a higher accuracy value of 84.55% than the results of the PSO-based Vector Support Machine with an accuracy value of 80.08%. The calculation results, the accuracy of the AUC performance obtained by the results of the study are, the two methods are PSO-based Neural Network with AUC value of 0.885 and PSO-based Support Vector Machine with a value of 0.819 included in the category of Good Classification.

Annual Average Daily Traffic

Safety Performance Functions (SPFs) are regression models used to predict the expected number of collisions as a function of various traffic and geometric characteristics. One of the integral components in developing SPFs is the availability of accurate exposure factors, that is, annual average daily traffic (AADT). However, AADTs are not often available for minor roads at rural intersections. This study aims to develop a robust AADT estimation model using a deep neural network. A total of 1,350 rural four-legged, stop-controlled intersections from the Province of Alberta, Canada, were used to train the neural network. The results of the deep neural network model were compared with the traditional estimation method, which uses linear regression. The results indicated that the deep neural network model improved the estimation of minor roads’ AADT by 35% when compared with the traditional method. Furthermore, SPFs developed using linear regression resulted in models with statistically insignificant AADTs on minor roads. Conversely, the SPF developed using the neural network provided a better fit to the data with both AADTs on minor and major roads being statistically significant variables. The findings indicated that the proposed model could enhance the predictive power of the SPF and therefore improve the decision-making process since SPFs are used in all parts of the safety management process.
