An ELM-Based Approach for Estimating Train Dwell Time in Urban Rail Traffic

Dwell time estimation plays an important role in the operation of urban rail system. On this specific problem, a range of models based on either polynomial regression or microsimulation have been proposed. However, the generalization performance of polynomial regression models is limited and the acc...
