AI-based prediction of train-induced environmental vibration with limited measurements
3+ hour, 14+ min ago (380+ words) This study presents a transfer learning'based method for predicting train-induced environmental vibration. The method applies data fusion to combine physics-based numerical simulations and limited measurement data within a neural network. It reduces the heavy reliance of conventional machine learning'based models…...
