An efficient and credible approach to road traffic management and prediction is a crucial aspect in the Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS). It can strongly influence the development of road structures and projects. It is also essential for route planning and traffic regulations. In this paper, we propose a hybrid model that combines extreme learning machine (ELM) and ensemble-based techniques to predict the future hourly traffic of a road section in Tangier, a city in the north of Morocco. The model was applied to a real-world historical data set extracted from fixed sensors over a 5-years period. Our approach is based on a type of Single hidden Layer Feed-forward Neural Network (SLFN) known for being a high-speed machine learning algorithm. The model was, then, compared to other well-known algorithms in the prediction literature. Experimental results demonstrated that, according to the most commonly used criteria of error measurements (RMSE, MAE, and MAPE), our model is performing better in terms of prediction accuracy. The use of Akaike’s Information Criterion technique (AIC) has also shown that the proposed model has a higher performance.

Abstract Extreme learning machine (ELM) is an efficient algorithm, but it requires more hidden nodes than the BP algorithms to reach the matched performance. Recently, an efficient learning algorithm, the upper-layer-solution-unaware algorithm (USUA), is proposed for the single-hidden layer feed-forward neural network. It needs less number of hidden nodes and testing time than ELM. In this paper, we mainly give the theoretical analysis for USUA. Theoretical results show that the error function monotonously decreases in the training procedure, the gradient of the error function with respect to weights tends to zero (the weak convergence), and the weight sequence goes to a fixed point (the strong convergence) when the iterations approach positive infinity. An illustrated simulation has been implemented on the MNIST database of handwritten digits which effectively verifies the theoretical results..

Extreme learning machine (ELM) is a new and effective single-hidden layer feed forward neural network learning algorithm. Extreme learning machine only needs to set the number of hidden layer nodes of the network, and there is no need to adjust the neural network input weights and the hidden units bias, and it generates the only optimum solution, so it has the advantage of fast learning and good generalization ability. And the back propagation (BP) neural network is the most maturely applied. This paper has introduced the extreme learning machine into the wind power prediction. By comparing the wind power prediction method using the BP neural network. Study shows that the extreme learning machine has better prediction accuracy and shorter model training time.


Extreme Learning Machine (ELM) is an efficient and effective least-square-based learning algorithm for classification, regression problems based on single hidden layer feed-forward neural network (SLFN). It has been shown in the literature that it has faster convergence and good generalization ability for moderate datasets. But, there is great deal of challenge involved in computing the pseudoinverse when there are large numbers of hidden nodes or for large number of instances to train complex pattern recognition problems. To address this problem, a few approaches such as EM-ELM, DF-ELM have been proposed in the literature. In this paper, a new rank-based matrix decomposition of the hidden layer matrix is introduced to have the optimal training time and reduce the computational complexity for a large number of hidden nodes in the hidden layer. The results show that it has constant training time which is closer towards the minimal training time and very far from worst-case training time of the DF-ELM algorithm that has been shown efficient in the recent literature.

Recently, a novel learning algorithm called extreme learning machine (ELM) was proposed for efficiently training single-hidden-layer feedforward neural networks (SLFNs). It was much faster than the traditional gradient-descent-based learning algorithms due to the analytical determination of output weights with the random choice of input weights and hidden layer biases. However, this algorithm often requires a large number of hidden units and thus slowly responds to new observations. Evolutionary extreme learning machine (E-ELM) was proposed to overcome this problem; it used the differential evolution algorithm to select the input weights and hidden layer biases. However, this algorithm required much time for searching optimal parameters with iterative processes and was not suitable for data sets with a large number of input features. In this paper, a new approach for training SLFNs is proposed, in which the input weights and biases of hidden units are determined based on a fast regularized least-squares scheme. Experimental results for many real applications with both small and large number of input features show that our proposed approach can achieve good generalization performance with much more compact networks and extremely high speed for both learning and testing.

Real-time and accurate prediction of traffic flow is the key to intelligent transportation systems (ITS). However, due to the nonstationarity of traffic flow data, traditional point forecasting can hardly be accurate, so probabilistic forecasting methods are essential for quantification of the potential risks and uncertainties for traffic management. A probabilistic forecasting model of traffic flow based on a multikernel extreme learning machine (MKELM) is proposed. Moreover, the optimal output weights of MKELM are obtained by utilizing Quantum-behaved particle swarm optimization (QPSO) algorithm. To verify its effectiveness, traffic flow probabilistic prediction using QPSO-MKELM was compared with other learning methods. Experimental results show that QPSO-MKELM is more effective for practical applications. And it will help traffic managers to make right decisions.

AbstractIncreased number of the vehicles on the streets around the world has led to several problems including traffic congestion, emissions, and huge fuel consumption in many regions. With advances in wireless and traffic technologies, the Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) has been introduced as a viable solution for solving these problems by implementing more efficient use of the current infrastructures. In this paper, the possibility of using cellular-based Low-Power Wide-Area Network (LPWAN) communications, LTE-M and NB-IoT, for ITS applications has been investigated. LTE-M and NB-IoT are designed to provide long range, low power and low cost communication infrastructures and can be a promising option which has the potential to be employed immediately in real systems. In this paper, we have proposed an architecture to employ the LPWAN as a backhaul infrastructure for ITS and to understand the feasibility of the proposed model, two applications with low and high delay requirements have been examined: road traffic monitoring and emergency vehicle management. Then, the performance of using LTE-M and NB-IoT for providing backhaul communication infrastructure has been evaluated in a realistic simulation environment and compared for these two scenarios in terms of end-to-end latency per user. Simulation of Urban MObility has been used for realistic traffic generation and a Python-based program has been developed for evaluation of the communication system. The simulation results demonstrate the feasibility of using LPWAN for ITS backhaul infrastructure mostly in favor of the LTE-M over NB-IoT.

With the rapid development of road traffic, real-time vehicle counting is very important in the construction of intelligent transportation systems (ITSs). Compared with traditional technologies, the video-based method for vehicle counting shows great importance and huge advantages in its low cost, high efficiency, and flexibility. However, many methods find difficulty in balancing the accuracy and complexity of the algorithm. For example, compared with traditional and simple methods, deep learning methods may achieve higher precision, but they also greatly increase the complexity of the algorithm. In addition to that, most of the methods only work under one mode of color, which is a waste of available information. Considering the above, a multi-loop vehicle-counting method under gray mode and RGB mode was proposed in this paper. Under gray and RGB modes, the moving vehicle can be detected more completely; with the help of multiple loops, vehicle counting could better deal with different influencing factors, such as driving behavior, traffic environment, shooting angle, etc. The experimental results show that the proposed method is able to count vehicles with more than 98.5% accuracy while dealing with different road scenes.

Extreme learning machine (ELM), a relatively novel machine learning algorithm for single hidden layer feed-forward neural networks (SLFNs), has been shown competitive performance in simple structure and superior training speed. To improve the effectiveness of ELM for dealing with noisy datasets, a deep structure of ELM, short for DS-ELM, is proposed in this paper. DS-ELM contains three level networks (actually contains three nets ): the first level network is trained by auto-associative neural network (AANN) aim to filter out noise as well as reduce dimension when necessary; the second level network is another AANN net aim to fix the input weights and bias of ELM; and the last level network is ELM. Experiments on four noisy datasets are carried out to examine the new proposed DS-ELM algorithm. And the results show that DS-ELM has higher performance than ELM when dealing with noisy data.

Abstract For the traditional ensemble learning algorithm of software defect prediction, the base predictor exists the problem that too many parameters are difficult to optimize, resulting in the optimized performance of the model unable to be obtained. An ensemble learning algorithm for software defect prediction that is proposed by using the improved sparrow search algorithm to optimize the extreme learning machine, which divided into three parts. Firstly, the improved sparrow search algorithm (ISSA) is proposed to improve the optimization ability and convergence speed, and the performance of the improved sparrow search algorithm is tested by using eight benchmark test functions. Secondly, ISSA is used to optimize extreme learning machine (ISSA-ELM) to improve the prediction ability. Finally, the optimized ensemble learning algorithm (ISSA-ELM-Bagging) is presented in the Bagging algorithm which improve the prediction performance of ELM in software defect datasets. Experiments are carried out in six groups of software defect datasets. The experimental results show that ISSA-ELM-Bagging ensemble learning algorithm is significantly better than the other four comparison algorithms under the six evaluation indexes of Precision, Recall, F-measure, MCC, Accuracy and G-mean, which has better stability and generalization ability.
