Urban Rail Transit Passenger Flow Forecasting Method Based on the Coupling of Artificial Fish Swarm and Improved Particle Swarm Optimization Algorithms

Abstract

Urban rail transit passenger flow forecasting is an important basis for station design, passenger flow organization, and train operation plan optimization. In this work, we combined the artificial fish swarm and improved particle swarm optimization (AFSA-PSO) algorithms. Taking the Window of the World station of the Shenzhen Metro Line 1 as an example, subway passenger flow prediction research was carried out. The AFSA-PSO algorithm successfully preserved the fast convergence and strong traceability of the original algorithm through particle self-adjustment and dynamic weights, and it effectively overcame its shortcomings, such as the tendency to fall into local optimum and lower convergence speed. In addition to accurately predicting normal passenger flow, the algorithm can also effectively identify and predict the large-scale tourist attractions passenger flow as it has strong applicability and robustness. Compared with single PSO or AFSA algorithms, the new algorithm has better prediction effects, such as faster convergence, lower average absolute percentage error, and a higher correlation coefficient with real values.

Advanced series decomposition with a gated recurrent unit and graph convolutional neural network for non-stationary data patterns

“…Early applications of parametric models often employed growth curves for forecasting metrics like rail transit passenger volumes (Yuan et al [12]). Common among these parametric approaches are various timeseries models and their derivatives, which are praised for their simplicity and interpretability [13][14][15].…”

Analysis of influencing factors of carbon emissions from China’s marine fishery energy consumption under different development scenarios

“…Particle swarm algorithm (PSO) is an algorithm that simulates the feeding behavior of birds (Marini and Walczak, 2015). Particle swarm algorithms have a wide range of applications in optimization problems in areas such as neural network training, combinatorial optimization, image processing and signal processing (Yuan et al, 2019;Huo et al, 2023;Na et al, 2023). The algorithm proposes the concept of particles to simulate the birds in a flock, and the particles learn and exchange information among themselves to achieve the global optimal search (Zhang et al, 2019).…”
