• Type: Journal Article
• Keywords: Artificial neural networks; hook time; mobile crane
• ISBN/ISSN: 0144-6193
• URL: https://doi.org/10.1080/0144619042000202771
• Abstract:
  

  The hook times of mobile cranes are processes that are of non-linear and discrete nature. Artificial neural network is a data processing technique that lends itself to this kind of problem. Three common artificial neural network architectures - multi-layer feed-forward (MLFF), group method of data handling (GMDH) and general regression neural network (GRNN) - are compared. The results show that the GRNN model aided with genetic algorithm (GA) is most promising in describing the non-linear and discrete nature of the hook times. The MLFF model can also give a moderate level of accuracy in the estimation of hook travelling times of mobile cranes and is ranked second. The GMDH model is outperformed by the former two due to a less promising R-square.
