Optimizing the Spatial Layout of Agricultural Irrigation Sprinklers Using Remote Sensing Data: An Adaptive Incremental <inline-formula><tex-math notation="LaTeX">$K$</tex-math></in... by Jing Geng, Shangxian Zhao, Yifei Wang, Qi Li

“…In addition, AIK-means integrates an adaptive adjustment mechanism to prevent excessive clustering of centroids, thereby minimizing overlapping sprinkler coverage. Experimental results on real plant distribution datasets extracted from agricultural remote sensing images demonstrate that AIK-means outperforms widely-used clustering algorithms, achieving a significant improvement of at least 90% in the coverage-to-overlap ratio metric.…”

Towards a simulation of minibuses in South Africa by Andreas Neumann, Daniel Röder, Johan W. Joubert

“…The successful application of the approach to a large-scale, real-world scenario in the Nelson Mandela Bay Area Municipality in South Africa shows that it is able to identify the main minibus corridors as well as to find robust service coverage in lower-demand areas. The resulting minibus supply model can then be used for planning purposes (e.g., to investigate aspects of strategic, operational, or regulatory changes).…”

Comparing importance-performance analysis and three-factor theory in assessing rider satisfaction with transit by Jason Cao, Xiaoshu Cao

“…To relax the assumption, this study applies three-factor theory to classify service attributes into basic, performance, and excitement factors. Using the 2013 data of bus, bus rapid transit (BRT), and metro transit riders from Guangzhou, China, it compares the results from two alternative IPA and two applications of the three-factor theory. …”
