In this paper, we introduce an algorithm that automatically plans a touristic trip by considering some hard and soft constrains. Opening and closing hours of POIs (Points of Interest), trip duration and trip allocated budget represent the hard constraints, while the satisfaction factors of the POIs and travelling distance in the trip are considered as soft constraints. We use the soft constrain...

Internet-based services are available to recommend destinations and activities for organized trips. Only few systems support travelers when creating composite trips consisting of multiple destinations or activities. The idea in this work is to select travel regions that maximize the value of the composite trip for the user while still respecting her limitations in time and money. The value of a...

To further examine the effectiveness of ascending and descending sections new round-trip drifting sounding system in forecasting high-impact weather such as heavy rainfall, this study, three assimilation experiments were designed for a rainstorm eastern China using WRF (Weather Research Forecast) WRFDA-3DVAR. Then, reasons improvement effects rainfall after analyzed from various perspectives. T...

STUDY OBJECTIVE The aim was to evaluate the current approach to forecasting hospital bed requirements. DESIGN The study was a time series and regression analysis. The time series for mean duration of stay for general surgery in the age group 15-44 years (1969-1982) was used in the evaluation of different methods of forecasting future values of mean duration of stay and its subsequent use in t...

The traditional trip based approach to transportation modeling has been employed for the past thirty years. However, due to the limitations of traditional planning for short-term policy analysis, researchers have explored alternative paradigms for incorporating more behavioral realism in planning methodologies. On the demand side, activity-based approaches have evolved as an alternative to trad...

To ascertain the viability of a project, undertake resource allocation, take part in bidding processes, and other related decisions, modern project management requires forecasting techniques for cost, duration, and performance of a project, not only under normal circumstances, but also under external events that might abruptly change the status quo. We provide a Bayesian framework that provides...

The notion of smart cities is being adapted globally to provide a better quality living. A city's mobility component focuses on providing smooth and safe commuting for its residents promotes eco-friendly sustainable alternatives such as public transit (bus). Among several applications, system that provides up-to-the-minute information like bus arrival, travel duration, schedule, etc., improves ...

Navigation and the underlying brain signals are influenced by various allothetic and idiothetic cues, depending on environmental conditions and task demands. Visual landmarks typically control navigation in familiar environments but, in the absence of landmarks, self-movement cues are able to guide navigation relatively accurately. These self-movement cues include signals from the vestibular sy...
