Adaptive traffic control systems (ATCS) are designed to calculate traffic signal timings in real time to accommodate current traffic demand changes. A conventional off-line computer-based design procedure that uses iterative evaluations to select alternatives may not be appropriate for ATCS due to its unstable searching time. Search-free analytical procedures that directly find solutions have been noted for ATCS for this reason. This paper demonstrates (i) the shortcomings of an analytical cycle-length design model, specifically COSMOS, in its ability to generate satisfactory solutions at various saturation levels and (ii) an artificial neural network (ANN) based model that can overcome these shortcomings. The ANN-based model consistently yielded cycle lengths that ensure a proper operational target volume to capacity (v/c) ratio, whereas the use of the analytical model resulted in unstable target v/c ratios that might promote congestion.

Real-time traffic flow prediction is the core of traffic control and management, which is the basis of traffic safety in mountain area. Traffic flow, which is highly time-relevant, with the features of high non-linear and non-determinism, can be treated as the time sequence forecast. Considering these features, this paper deals specially with this issue based on Wavelet neural network. Besides, by taking a road in mountain area for example, the paper realizes the analog simulation through the Matlab software programming. And the simulation results show that the traffic flow can be precisely forecast using Wavelet neural network, and its value is close to the expectations. The MAE of the Wavelet neural network is 20.1074 and the MSE is 2.5254.

Real-time drilling optimization improves drilling performance by providing early warnings in operation Mud hydraulics is a key aspect of drilling that can be optimized by access to real-time data. Different from the investigated references, reliable prediction of pump pressure provides an early warning of circulation problems, washout, lost circulation, underground blowout, and kicks. This will help the driller to make necessary corrections to mitigate potential problems. In this study, an artificial neural network (ANN) model to predict hydraulics was implemented through the fitting tool of matlab. Following the determination of the optimum model, the sensitivity analysis of input parameters on the created model was investigated by using forward regression method. Next, the remaining data from the selected well samples was applied for simulation to verify the quality of the developed model. The novelty is this paper is validation of computer models with actual field data collected from an operator in LA. The simulation result was promising as compared with collected field data. This model can accurately predict pump pressure versus depth in analogous formations. The result of this work shows the potential of the approach developed in this work based on NN models for predicting real-time drilling hydraulics.

<p><strong>Vehicular traffic is continuously increasing around the world, especially in urban areas, and the resulting congestion ha</strong><strong>s</strong><strong> be</strong><strong>come</strong><strong> a major concern to automobile users. The popular static electric traffic light controlling system can no longer sufficiently manage the traffic volume in large cities where real time traffic control is paramount to deciding best route. The proposed mobile traffic management system provides users with traffic information on congested roads using weighted sensors. A prototype of the system was implemented using Java SE Development Kit 8 and Google map. The model </strong><strong>was</strong><strong> simulated and the performance was </strong><strong>assessed</strong><strong> using response time, delay and throughput. Results showed that</strong><strong>,</strong><strong> mobile devices are capable of assisting road users’ in faster decision making by providing real-time traffic information and recommending alternative routes.</strong></p>

This paper describes an artificial immune system approach (AIS) to modeling time-dependent (dynamic, real time) transportation phenomenon characterized by uncertainty. The basic idea behind this research is to develop the Artificial Immune System, which generates a set of antibodies (decisions, control actions) that altogether can successfully cover a wide range of potential situations. The proposed artificial immune system develops antibodies (the best control strategies) for different antigens (different traffic "scenarios"). This task is performed using some of the optimization or heuristics techniques. Then a set of antibodies is combined to create Artificial Immune System. The developed Artificial Immune transportation systems are able to generalize, adapt, and learn based on new knowledge and new information. Applications of the systems are considered for airline yield management, the stochastic vehicle routing, and real-time traffic control at the isolated intersection. The preliminary research results are very promising.

Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) is one of the important aspects of cyber security that can detect the anomalies in the network traffic. IDS are a part of Second defense line of a system that can be deployed along with other security measures such as access control, authentication mechanisms and encryption techniques to secure the systems against cyber-attacks. However, IDS suffers from the problem of handling large volume of data and in detecting zero-day attacks (new types of attacks) in a real-time traffic environment. To overcome this problem, an intelligent Deep Learning approach for Intrusion Detection is proposed based on Convolutional Neural Network (CNN-IDS). Initially, the model is trained and tested under a new real-time traffic dataset, CSE-CIC-IDS 2018 dataset. Then, the performance of CNN-IDS model is studied based on three important performance metrics namely, accuracy / training time, detection rate and false alarm rate. Finally, the experimental results are compared with those of various Deep Discriminative models including Recurrent Neural network (RNN), Deep Neural Network (DNN) etc., proposed for IDS under the same dataset. The Comparative results show that the proposed CNN-IDS model is very much suitable for modelling a classification model both in terms of binary and multi-class classification with higher detection rate, accuracy, and lower false alarm rate. The CNN-IDS model improves the accuracy of intrusion detection and provides a new research method for intrusion detection.

This paper proposes a neural network based traffic signal controller, which eliminates most of the problems associated with the Traffic Responsive Plan Selection (TRPS) mode of the closed loop system. Instead of storing timing plans for different traffic scenarios, which requires clustering and threshold calculations, the proposed approach uses an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) model that produces optimal plans based on optimized weights obtained through its learning phase. Clustering in a closed loop system is root of the problems and therefore has been eliminated in the proposed approach. The Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) technique has been used both in the learning rule of ANN as well as generating training cases for ANN in terms of optimized timing plans, based on Highway Capacity Manual (HCM) delay for all traffic demands found in historical data. The ANN generates optimal plans online to address real time traffic demands and thus is more responsive to varying traffic conditions.
