Laila AitBihiOuali, Relationship between Gender and Safety in Public Transport Concerns over women’s safety on public transport systems are commonly reported in the media. In this paper we develop statistical models to test for gender differences in the perception of safety and satisfaction on urban metros and buses using large-scale unique customer satisfaction data for…
K. Shankari, e-mission: An Open Source, Extensible Platform for Human Mobility Systems Transportation is the single largest source of carbon emissions in the US. Decarbonizing it is challenging because it depends on individual behaviors, which in turn, depend on local land use planning. The interdisciplinary field of Computational Mobility (CM), which focuses on collecting, analysing…
Zhibin Chen, Path Controlling of Automated Vehicles for System Optimum on Transportation Networks with Heterogeneous Traffic Stream In the future, when traffic streams comprise a mix of conventional and automated vehicles (AVs), AVs may be employed as mobile actuators to regulate or manage traffic flow across an urban road network to enhance its performance. This…
Babu Veeregowda, Congestion Pricing in NYC New York City has become more and more congested in recent years. In addition, the state of the MTA New York City Subway has become severely deteriorated to the point where derailments, signal failures, and track fires are becoming more common. Congestion pricing has been proposed in recent years…
Zhiding Yu, Towards Weakly-Supervised Visual Understanding Learning with weak and self-supervisions recently emerged as compelling tools towards leveraging vast amounts of unlabeled or partially-labeled data. In this talk, Zhiding presented some of the latest advances in weakly-supervised visual scene understanding from NVIDIA. Specifically, He summarized and discussed some challenges and potential solutions in weakly-supervised learning,…
Mostafa Mirshekari, Structure as a Sensor for Indirect Occupant Monitoring through Structural Vibrations Occupant monitoring is an important part of various smart infrastructure systems such as smart healthcare, security, and efficient energy management. The application of current sensing approaches for occupant monitoring is limited in real life scenarios due to sensing requirements such as line…
Oliver Gao, Systems Integration and Innovation in Urban Transportation, Environment, and Health: Models, Tools, and Insights Transportation-related air pollution, GHG emissions and energy problems are a significant issue in the U.S. and across the world. The World Health Organization estimates that urban air pollution causes 200,000 deaths per year worldwide and that it will be…
Towards a Safer Urban Transportation System in the Era of Connected & Autonomous Vehicles & Big Data Abstract Natural and man-made disruptive events can have major impact on our transportation system. These events range from simple traffic accidents to major loss of infrastructure as a result of natural disasters, such as hurricanes and earthquakes.…
Xinyue Ye, Visually Exploring Massive Urban Trajectories to Enhance Urban Sustainability and Resilience Thanks to advanced technologies in sensing and computing, the mobility patterns and dynamics of cities and their citizens are recorded and manifested in a variety of urban trajectory datasets, which include the moving paths of human, taxi, bus, fleets, cars, and so…
Eui-Sung Hwang, Evaluation Methods of Vibration Serviceability for Long Span Cable Bridges Along with building slender and longer span structures, vibration serviceability becomes more important considerations in bridge design and maintenance. In this study, vibration serviceability and deflection limit for long span cable bridges are investigated using real-time and long-term monitoring data such as accelerations…
