Intersection decision making for autonomous vehicles based on improved PPO algorithm by Dong Guo, Shoulin He, Shouwen Ji

“…Abstract The deployment of autonomous vehicles (AVs) in complex urban environments faces numerous challenges, especially at intersections where they coexist with human‐driven vehicles (HVs), resulting in increased safety risks. In response, this study proposes an improved control strategy based on the Proximal Policy Optimization (PPO) algorithm, specifically designed for hybrid intersections, known as MSA‐PPO. …”

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. …”
