Marketing in Public Transportation : Neural Networks approach
نویسندگان
چکیده
In Brazil, Public Bus Transportation (PBT) responds for the most part of displacements. However, due to low level of services provided by bus operators and the increase of informal/non-regulated transportation, there has been a sharp decrease on demand. In this context, planning agencies need now to focus on efforts towards comprehension and development of strategies to satisfy various necessities of PBT’s users. As a preliminary step in this direction, this work introduces the application of Neural Networks (NN) associated to Geographical Information System (GIS) in order to process the modeling of user’s preferences in PBT. A case study was conducted in Taguatinga City, Federal District, Brazil and results showed the potential of the proposed modeling.

THE USAGE OF ARTIFICIAL NEURAL NETWORKS IN HYDRODYNAMIC ANALYSIS OF FLOATING OFFSHORE PLATFORMS
Floating offshore structures, particularly floating oil production, storage and offloading systems (FPSOs) are still in great demand, both in small and large reservoirs, for deployment in deep water. The prediction of such vessels’ responses to her environmental loading over her lifetime is now often undertaken using response-based design methodology, although the approach is still in its...
متن کاملA DSS-Based Dynamic Programming for Finding Optimal Markets Using Neural Networks and Pricing
One of the substantial challenges in marketing efforts is determining optimal markets, specifically in market segmentation. The problem is more controversial in electronic commerce and electronic marketing. Consumer behaviour is influenced by different factors and thus varies in different time periods. These dynamic impacts lead to the uncertain behaviour of consumers and therefore harden the t...
