Dynamic path flows, referring to the number of vehicles that choose each path in a network over time, are generally estimated with the partial observations as the input. The automatic vehicle identification (AVI) system and probe vehicle trajectories are now popular and can provide rich and complementary trip information, but the data fusion was rarely explored. Therefore, in this paper, the dynamic path flow estimation is based on these two data sources and transformed into a feature learning problem. To fuse the two data sources belonging to different detection ways at the data level, the virtual AVI points, analogous to the real AVI points (turning movements at nodes with AVI detectors), are defined and selected to statically observe the dynamic movement of the probe vehicles. The corresponding selection principles and a programming model considering the distribution of real AVI points are first established. The selected virtual AVI points are used to construct the input tensor, and the turning movement-based observations from both the data sources can be extracted and fused. Then, a three-dimensional (3D) convolutional neural network (CNN) model is designed to exploit the hidden patterns from the tensor and establish the high-dimensional correlations with path flows. As the path flow labels commonly with noises, the bootstrapping method is adopted for model training and the corresponding relabeling principle is defined to purify the noisy labels. The entire model is extensively tested based on a realistic road network, and the results show that the designed CNN model with the presented data fusion method can perform well in training time and estimation accuracy. The robustness of a model to noisy labels is also improved through the bootstrapping method. The dynamic path flows estimated by the trained model can be applied to travel information provision, proactive route guidance, and signal control with high real-time requirements.

<div> <div> <div> <p>Nowadays, the search of efficient methods able to reduce the high atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration has turned into a very dynamic research area. Several environmental problems have been closely associated with the high atmospheric level of this greenhouse gas. Here, a novel system based on the use of surface-functionalized silicon quantum dots (sf -SiQDs) is theoretically proposed as a versatile device to bind carbon dioxide. Within this approach, carbon dioxide trapping is modulated by a photoinduced charge redistribution between the capping molecule and the silicon quantum dots (SiQDs). Chemical and electronic properties of the proposed SiQDs have been studied with Density Functional Theory (DFT) and Density Functional Tight-Binding (DFTB) approach along with a Time-Dependent model based on the DFTB (TD-DFTB) framework. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report that proposes and explores the potential application of a versatile and friendly device based on the use of sf -SiQDs for photochemically activated carbon dioxide fixation. </p> </div> </div> </div>
