BiPred: A Bilevel Evolutionary Algorithm for Prediction in Smart Mobility

Abstract

This article develops the design, installation, exploitation, and final utilization of intelligent techniques, hardware, and software for understanding mobility in a modern city. We focus on a smart-campus initiative in the University of Malaga as the scenario for building this cyber–physical system at a low cost, and then present the details of a new proposed evolutionary algorithm used for better training machine-learning techniques: BiPred. We model and solve the task of reducing the size of the dataset used for learning about campus mobility. Our conclusions show an important reduction of the required data to learn mobility patterns by more than 90%, while improving (at the same time) the precision of the predictions of theapplied machine-learning method (up to 15%). All this was done along with the construction of a real system in a city, which hopefully resulted in a very comprehensive work in smart cities using sensors.

Smart Mobility Adoption: A Review of the Literature

“…These research papers covered all forms of individual modeling and estimations of intelligent transport metrics for city ratings with respect to accessibility and efficiency [47][48][49]. Evaluations of research articles analyzed different guidelines for legislative initiatives [50,51]. As anticipated, the authors were selected with respect to the research objectives for this paper [48,49].…”

Improvement of an Online Education Model with the Integration of Machine Learning and Data Analysis in an LMS

“…Before thinking about the technological solution, it is necessary to address the business objective that is sought to be solved with a machine learning tool. The goals can be as diverse as improving conversions, reducing churn, or increasing user satisfaction [46]. The important thing is to be clear about which element to optimize to focus resources on it and not to implement a solution that exceeds the original goal [12].…”

Application of a Smart City Model to a Traditional University Campus with a Big Data Architecture: A Sustainable Smart Campus

“…The university campus has an integrated WLAN system that handles load balancing device identification, enabling this type of study. Access-point (AP) devices provide information about the number of hosts that are connected, and the controller that manages the APs can emit traces of these hosts that include information of the time they connected to the network, as well as the identification of the AP to which they are connected [83]. The potential of wireless systems promotes the use of information to the inhabitants of the smart campus, based on the conditions of the environment.…”
