Local Linear Wavelet Neural Network–Based Unscented Kalman Filter for Vehicle Collision Estimate Warning System and Ensuring Stable Vehicle-to-Infrastructure Communication by Yonas Kebede Lema, Satyasis Mishra, Demissie J. Gelmecha

“…These alerts can warn the driver of impending collisions with distant objects, enabling them to take appropriate evasive action. By implementing this integrated LLWNN-UKF approach leveraging sensor data and V2X communication, we aim to reduce the number of collisions caused by reckless driving, which will lead to a decrease in traffic-related fatalities and injuries.…”

MARKETING AUDIT AS A TOOL OF MARKETING ANALYTICS by Valentyna Litynska

“…Based on the generalization of approaches to the interpretation of the concept of «marketing audit» and factors that have a significant impact on this concept, it is proposed to define marketing audit as an improved tool used by companies for in-depth analysis of their marketing activities in order to identify opportunities for increasing efficiency and competitiveness.  A marketing audit is not only an analysis of a company’s marketing strategies and actions, but also a systematic review of its marketing activities taking into account changing market conditions and internal factors. …”
