To capture spatial relationships and temporal dynamics in traffic data, spatio-temporal models for traffic forecasting have drawn significant attention in recent years. Most of the recent works employed graph neural networks(GNN) with multiple layers to capture the spatial dependency. However, road junctions with different hop-distance can carry distinct traffic information which should be exploited separately but existing multi-layer GNNs are incompetent to discriminate between their impact. Again, to capture the temporal interrelationship, recurrent neural networks are common in state-of-the-art approaches that often fail to capture long-range dependencies. Furthermore, traffic data shows repeated patterns in a daily or weekly period which should be addressed explicitly. To address these limitations, we have designed a Simplified Spatio-temporal Traffic forecasting GNN(SST-GNN) that effectively encodes the spatial dependency by separately aggregating different neighborhood representations rather than with multiple layers and capture the temporal dependency with a simple yet effective weighted spatio-temporal aggregation mechanism. We capture the periodic traffic patterns by using a novel position encoding scheme with historical and current data in two different models. With extensive experimental analysis, we have shown that our model 1 has significantly outperformed the state-of-the-art models on three real-world traffic datasets from the Performance Measurement System (PeMS).

Arrangement patient’s report process of Elim Rantepao hospital is especially complicated because patient data was obtained from FCR Console Prima what saved as DDO file extension as Unicode string. This problem makes understanding and select data manually become difficult. This research tries to give a solution on how to arrange reports easily through application tools developing. This research uses a rule-based classification algorithm to extract Patient Name, Age, ID Number, Date, and time. Applying this algorithm, increase system performance up to 96,6%. This application is very accurate as long as the file DDO has not broken.

Traffic congestion research is on the rise, thanks to urbanization, economic growth, and industrialization. Developed countries invest a lot of research money in collecting traffic data using Radio Frequency Identification (RFID), loop detectors, speed sensors, high-end traffic light, and GPS. However, these processes are expensive, infeasible, and non-scalable for developing countries with numerous non-motorized vehicles, proliferated ride-sharing services, and frequent pedestrians. This paper proposes a novel approach to collect traffic data from Google Map's traffic layer with minimal cost. We have implemented widely used models such as Historical Averages (HA), Support Vector Regression (SVR), Support Vector Regression with Graph (SVR-Graph), Auto-Regressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) to show the efficacy of the collected traffic data in forecasting future congestion. We show that even with these simple models, we could predict the traffic congestion ahead of time. We also demonstrate that the traffic patterns are significantly different between weekdays and weekends.
