Transdisciplinary design approach based on driver's workload monitoring J. Ind. Inf. Integr. (IF 10.615) Pub Date : 2019-04-03 Margherita Peruzzini; Mara Tonietti; Cristina Iani
Driving is a high-demanding task, related to human capacity, required performance and events occurring in the external environment. Mental workload depends on numerous factors: task difficulty, task complexity, level of traffic, additional activities required by the driving action or imposed by the driver, the contextual conditions, as well as the individual response to stress. The study of driver's

Reliability estimation using an integrated support vector regression – variable neighborhood search model J. Ind. Inf. Integr. (IF 10.615) Pub Date : 2019-03-12 Maziar Yazdani; Mahla Babagolzadeh; Navid Kazemitash; Morteza Saberi
As failure and reliability predictions play a significant role in production systems they have caught the attention of researchers. In this study, Support Vector Regression (SVR), which is known as a powerful neural network method, is developed as a way of forecasting reliability. Generally, SVR is applied in many research environments, and the results illustrate that SVR is a successful method in
