Optimized exit door locations for a safer emergency evacuation using crowd evacuation model and artificial bee colony optimization

Overcrowding during emergency evacuation can cause crowd stampede and trampling that will lead to serious injuries or fatalities. These situations are likely to occur in natural or man-made disasters in open or closed spaces. The inefficient … Mehr… The post Optimized exit door locations for a safer emergency evacuation using crowd evacuation model and artificial bee colony optimization appeared first on Initiative für «smarte» Schweiz.

Smart City: A Traffic Signal Control System for Reducing the Effects of Traffic Congestion in Urban Environments

This thesis addresses the detrimental effects of road traffic congestion in the Smart City environment. Urban congestion is a recognisable problem that affects much of the world’s population through delays and pollution although the delays are not an … Mehr… The post Smart City: A Traffic Signal Control System for Reducing the Effects of Traffic Congestion in Urban Environments appeared first on Initiative für «smarte» Schweiz.

Artificial Swarm Intelligence

The technology of Artificial Swarm Intelligence (ASI) has been shown to substantially amplify the collective insights and significantly increase predictive accuracy of human groups. It works by connecting teams of networked users into real-time … Mehr… The post Artificial Swarm Intelligence appeared first on Initiative für «smarte» Schweiz.

A dynamic neural network model for predicting risk of Zika in real-time

Background In 2015 the Zika virus spread from Brazil throughout the Americas, posing an unprecedented challenge to the public health community. During the epidemic, international public health officials lacked reliable predictions of the outbreak’s expected geographic scale and prevalence of cases, and were therefore unable to plan and allocate surveillance resources in a timely and […] The post A dynamic neural network model for predicting risk of Zika in real-time appeared first on In...
