SUMMARY:Seminar: Alternative Fuel Vehicle Evacuation and Refueling Infrastructure Location Planning
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Climate change exacerbates the frequency and impacts of hazardous events\, such as hurricanes\, flooding\, and wildfires. During emergencies that require preemptive evacuation\, drivers using alternative fuel vehicles can be vulnerable under conventional evacuation routes that do not provide access to refueling and charging stations on their way to safety. In this talk\, I will discuss a novel evacuation routing problem considering multiple fuel vehicle types. An evacuation tree problem with hop constraints that capture each vehicle fuel type & refueling/charging needs as they are routed to safety is introduced. Large-scale network numerical experiments in South Florida are conducted and planning insights are presented. Even though refueling and charging infrastructure is deployed to meet habitual travel demand\, in the second part of my talk I will focus on the extension of the alt-fuel evacuation problem to decide the location of emergency refueling and/or charging infrastructure on the transportation network. \nBio: Dr. Kontou is an assistant professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. Her research focuses on planning sustainable transportation systems. She earned her Ph.D. in Civil Engineering\, focusing on transportation systems\, from University of Florida\, and holds a M.Sc. from Virginia Tech\, and a Diploma from the National Technical University of Athens in the same field. She was a postdoctoral research associate at the National Renewable Energy Lab and the Department of City and Regional Planning at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Dr. Kontou is a 2023 NSF CAREER awardee\, a 2023 CUTC-Cambridge Systematics New Faculty Award recipient\, a 2022 Illinois-Indiana Sea Grant Faculty Scholar\, a 2021 US Frontiers of Engineering Invited Participant\, and a Levenick Sustainability Teaching Fellow at the University of Illinois. She is a member of the Transportation Research Board Committee on Alternative Transportation Fuels and Technologies and an Associate Editor of the Transportation Research Part D: Transport and Environment journal.

SUMMARY:NYU SPS Distinguished Speaker Series: Nicholas Lalla
DESCRIPTION:Nicholas Lalla is an urbanist\, executive leader\, and author working at the intersection of economic development and emerging technology. He partners with cities to build strategies and initiatives that catalyze inclusive growth. Lalla founded Tulsa Innovation Labs\, an organization deploying more than $200 million to build northeast Oklahoma’s innovation economy. He previously led Cyber NYC for the New York City Economic Development Corporation\, a cybersecurity initiative the New York Times called “among the nation’s most ambitious.” Earlier in his career\, at the Urban Land Institute\, he launched a national resilience program for cities\ncombatting the effects of climate change. Lalla has written for Newsweek\, Fast Company\, Stanford Social Innovation Review\, and Next City\, among other outlets. His book Reinventing the Heartland is forthcoming from HarperCollins. He can be found online at nicholaslalla.com.

SUMMARY:Distinguished Speaker Series: Dr. Henry Liu
DESCRIPTION:Earning public trust in highly automated vehicles\, and greater understanding of how they operate\, is paramount as automakers and their suppliers push to put cars and trucks on the road that can safely operate without a driver. While complex automated vehicle safety testing programs are being implemented across industry\, they are generally proprietary\, and their structure remains hidden from public view. To fill in this gap\, we developed the Mcity Safety Assessment Program\, a two-part protocol for testing the behavior competence of automated vehicles before their widespread use on public roads. The first part of the assessment is a “Driver’s License Test” that measures the basic behavioral competency of an automated vehicle through random scenario generation. The second part is a “Driving Intelligence Test” that challenges AI-based algorithms with a diverse set of scenarios representing those that most often result in crashes\, injuries and fatalities. Mcity believes the Mcity Safety Assessment Program could serve as the blueprint for a publicly inspectable behavioral safety framework\, helping industry bring automated vehicle technology to market in a manner that truly benefits society. In this talk\, we will also highlight Mcity 2.0\, a facility funded by the National Science Foundation\, that aims to build a digital infrastructure providing researchers remote access to the Mcity mixed reality testing environment for highly automated vehicles.
