TRAFFIC NOISE PREDICTION USING MACHINE LEARNING!

TRAFFIC NOISE PREDICTION USING MACHINE LEARNING!

Our new research paper titled “Traffic Noise Prediction Model Using GIS and Ensemble Machine Learning: A Case Study at Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM) Campus” has been published in the Q1-ranked journal Environmental Science and Pollution Research (Web of Science indexed)!

This study focuses on the application of Geographical Information Systems (GIS) and ensemble machine learning models to predict traffic noise levels, an important environmental concern. Our research provides a detailed analysis of how these innovative methods can be used to accurately predict noise propagation and assist in urban planning for noise mitigation strategies.

The results highlight the effectiveness of ensemble learning methods, such as Random Forest and Gradient Boosting, in providing accurate predictions compared to traditional models. This approach could lead to more effective noise control measures and improved quality of life in urban environments.

GIS AND DATA SCIENCE – A TWO SIDES OF THE SAME COIN

GIS AND DATA SCIENCE – A TWO SIDES OF THE SAME COIN

GIS and Data Science are essentially the same at their core, both involve analyzing and extracting insights from data.

The difference? GIS takes it a step further by adding location to the mix, transforming data into spatial data.

This extra layer of location allows us to visualize patterns, make more informed decisions, and solve complex challenges related to geography, urban planning, environment, and much more.

In other words, GIS = Data Science + Location, unlocking endless possibilities for spatial analysis.

Ready to explore how spatial data enhances traditional data analysis? Dive into these key data science terms that drive both fields forward!

THE CITRA KARISMA AWARD 2024!

THE CITRA KARISMA AWARD 2024!

Grateful to have been awarded the Award for Indexed Journal Publication at the Citra Karisma 2024, which is Universiti Teknologi Malaysia’s prestigious university achievements award. Basically this award acknowledges the significant research contributions in indexed journals throughout 2023.

I want to express my sincere thanks to Universiti Teknologi Malaysia for this honor and to all my colleagues and students for their continued support and collaboration. Let us keep to continue pushing the boundaries of knowledge and excellence in research.

Research publication is not solely a university’s KPI – it is one of the most valuable research products that reflects the entire journey of academic and scientific discovery. It’s a process that begins with brainstorming, shaping ideas into proposals, securing funding, and working tirelessly alongside fellow researchers. It involves countless hours of dedication, navigating challenges, and pouring in both sweat and tears to bring those ideas to fruition. Only then do we synthesize all of this hard work into a paper, not for personal gain but to share freely with the world, advancing knowledge for the betterment of humanity.

“The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.” – Eleanor Roosevelt

Let’s never stop aiming higher!
