Applied Sciences, Vol. 16, Pages 8878: A Fault Diagnosis Framework for Rolling Bearings Based on PPCA-AR Anti-Interference Preprocessing and LSTM

6+ day, 13+ hour ago   (487+ words) Prevailing rolling bearing fault diagnosis frameworks based on long short-term memory (LSTM) are susceptible to noise interference under industrial strong-noise working conditions, suffering from insufficient feature extraction capability and low diagnostic precision. To address these limitations, this paper proposes a…...

Applied Sciences, Vol. 16, Pages 8798: A Data-Limited Function-Weighted Method for Network-Level Congestion Assessment in Heterogeneous Urban Road Networks

1+ week, 2+ day ago   (448+ words) Network-level congestion assessment requires segment states to be aggregated across roads that differ in length, observed flow, capacity, and functional role. In data-limited settings, however, traffic agencies may only have road class, segment length, traffic flow, capacity, and average speed,…...
