SUMMARY:Seminar: Inverse Learning and Intervention of Transportation Network Equilibrium
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nBy 2035\, nearly half of all new vehicles in the United States will be connected\, generating unprecedented volumes of mobility data. Leveraging emerging connected mobility data\, this talk establishes an AI-enabled inverse learning framework to transform the transportation network equilibrium modeling paradigm\, which has been the foundation of system planning and management for over seventy years. \nTraditional transportation network equilibrium models are time-consuming and costly to calibrate. This talk presents the inverse learning of user equilibrium as a novel framework for constructing nonparametric\, context-dependent network equilibrium models directly from empirical travel patterns. We compare nonparametric and parametric approaches\, mathematically clarifying the trade-offs among behavioral realism\, data availability\, and computational cost. The proposed neural-network-based nonparametric framework can automatically discover any well-posed network equilibrium model given\nsufficient data\, without relying on predefined behavioral assumptions. In contrast\, the semi-parametric approach is more computationally tractable\, as it simplifies the inverse learning problem into a sequence of convex optimizations. \nFinally\, we apply the inverse learning framework to a long-term network design problem for the city of Ann Arbor\, Michigan. Using real-world crowdsourced data\, we learned a context-dependent equilibrium model and introduce a certified\, auto-differentiation-accelerated algorithm to solve the resulting distributionally robust bi-level network design problem under contextual uncertainty. \nBio:\nDr. Zhichen Liu is an Assistant Professor in the Stony Brook University Department of Civil Engineering. Her research focuses on innovating next-generation modeling and computational tools for mobility and logistics systems\, with an emphasis on connectivity\, electrification\, and automation. She received her Ph.D. in Civil Engineering and M.S. in Industrial and Operational Engineering from the University of Michigan\, and previously served as a Visiting Scientist at General Motors. Dr. Liu is a recipient of the Rackham Predoctoral Fellowship and was honored as the sole global awardee of the prestigious Helene M. Overly Memorial Scholarship by the WTS International Foundation.

SUMMARY:Seminar: Gittins Indices for Cost-aware and Freeze-thaw Bayesian Optimization
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Qian Xie\, Cornell \nHyperparameter optimization is crucial in real-world applications such as machine learning model training\, robotics control\, material design\, and plasma physics. In transportation\, hyperparameter optimization plays a significant role in applications like traffic flow prediction\, dynamic pricing\, route planning\, and public transportation scheduling\, where complex models need to be fine-tuned to achieve optimal performance. These scenarios are often modeled as black-box functions\, which take hyperparameters as inputs and output performance metrics. Bayesian optimization is a powerful framework for efficiently optimizing such black-box functions\, especially when evaluations are time-consuming or expensive. However\, practical factors such as varying function evaluation costs and observable partial feedback during function evaluation remain under-explored in this framework. My research leverages Gittins indices\, which are inherently cost-aware and feedback-aware\, by drawing connections to Pandora’s Box problems and Markovian/Bayesian bandits\, where Gittins indices are Bayesian optimal. \nIn the first half of my talk\, I will present my published work\, which adapts Gittins indices into a cost-aware acquisition function class for Bayesian optimization\, demonstrating competitive empirical performance\, particularly in medium-to-high dimensions. In the second half\, I will discuss my ongoing work on developing Gittins indices for freeze-thaw Bayesian optimization involving decisions on early stopping and switching of hyperparameter tests based on partial feedback.

SUMMARY:USDOT Free Public Webinar:  Intersection Safety Challenge Prize Competition
DESCRIPTION:The U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) will host a webinar on May 22 to discuss the Intersection Safety Challenge Prize Competition\, which launched on April 25\, 2023. \nEach year\, roughly one-quarter of traffic fatalities and about one-half of all traffic injuries in the United States are attributed to intersections. According to the latest data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA)\, an estimated 42\,939 people died in motor vehicle traffic crashes in 2021\, a 10.1% increase compared to 39\,007 fatalities reported in 2020. From 2020 to 2021\, pedestrian and pedalcyclist fatalities and injuries increased at an alarming rate. For example\, pedestrian fatalities increased 13% and pedestrian injuries increased 11% from 2020 to 2021. In response to growing concerns regarding the safety of vulnerable road users at intersections and as part of the recent National Roadway Safety Strategy (NRSS) Call to Action\, the DOT aims to transform intersection safety through the innovative application of emerging technologies to identify and mitigate unsafe conditions involving vehicles and vulnerable road users. \nTo help address this growing problem and support U.S. DOT’s vision\, U.S. DOT is launching the Intersection Safety Challenge. This Challenge includes a multi-stage Prize Competition to encourage teams of innovators and end-users to develop and test their intersection safety systems (ISS) to compete for up to $6 million total in prizes. \nThe Challenge is considering the potential of emerging technologies to transform intersection safety and ensure equity among all road users (including vehicles and vulnerable road users). Leveraging emerging technologies to anticipate\, prevent\, and mitigate unsafe roadway conditions could augment traditional safety engineering in roadway design and intersection control. These emerging technologies could include machine vision\, machine perception\, sensor fusion\, real-time decision-making\, artificial intelligence\, and vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communications (among other approaches). These technologies in most cases rely on real-time decision-making informed by data ingested and analyzed from multiple sensor systems. \nThe webinar will discuss the U.S. DOT Intersection Safety Challenge Prize Competition\, including a program overview\, the Prize Competition structure\, and Stage 1A expectations. Please register for this webinar by visiting the following registration link: https://iscwebinar.eventbrite.com. \nFor more information about the program\, please visit the program website: https://its.dot.gov/isc. For more information about the ITS JPO\, please visit: https://www.its.dot.gov/.

SUMMARY:Performance Measurement from the New York City Connected Vehicle Pilot
DESCRIPTION:The U.S. Department of Transportation (U.S. DOT) will host a webinar to share the performance measurement from the New York City (NYC) Connected Vehicle (CV) Pilot. The webinar will be held on Wednesday\, December 15\, from 2:00 PM to 3:00 PM (ET).\n\nThe NYC CV Pilot has deployed over 450 roadside units and 3\,000 aftermarket safety devices in vehicles running 13 vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-infrastructure applications focused on safety. The webinar will provide an overview of the performance evaluation of the deployed CV applications in NYC’s urban canyon environment. The webinar will also cover NYC’s plans for the next phase of the project after completion of the CV Pilot’s Phase III operations.\nBACKGROUND \nSponsored by the U.S. DOT Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) Joint Program Office (JPO)\, the CV Pilot Deployment Program is a national effort to enable multiple connected vehicle applications and deploy\, test\, and operationalize cutting-edge mobile and roadside technologies. These innovative technologies and applications have the potential for immediate beneficial impacts—such as saving lives\, improving personal mobility\, enhancing economic productivity\, reducing negative environmental impacts\, and transforming public agency operations.\n\nThe U.S. DOT selected three agencies as CV Pilot deployment sites: the Wyoming Department of Transportation\, the New York City Department of Transportation\, and the Tampa Hillsborough Expressway Authority. Each site prepared a comprehensive deployment concept to ensure a rapid and efficient connected vehicle capability roll-out. The sites then worked to design\, build\, and test these deployments of integrated wireless in-vehicle\, mobile device\, and roadside technologies. The NYC CV Pilot is nearing the completion of the operational phase\, where the tested system was operated and maintained in good working order over a period of 12 months and monitored on a set of key performance metrics to measure its impact.\nFor more information about the NYC CV Pilot\, please visit https://www.its.dot.gov/pilots/pilots_nycdot.htm.

SUMMARY:State-of-the-Field: Application of Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) and Weigh-In-Motion (WIM) Sensors For Infrastructure Assessment and Resiliency
DESCRIPTION:Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) is being applied to many types of infrastructure to determine its durability\, performance and response to various loading conditions. Weigh-In-Motion (WIM) provides an efficient way to estimate the static weight of a vehicle by measuring the dynamic tire force of a moving vehicle. Recently\, emphasis has been placed on coupling these two complementary technologies in infrastructure evaluation and resiliency: SHM provides structural response or resistance while WIM provides actual loading conditions and future load prediction that enables determination of infrastructure capacity\, resulting in the operating service loads needed for developing statistical live load models for use at the strength and service limit states. \nDr. Nassif will provide an overview of how SHM\, WIM\, and related sensor technologies have evolved over the last three decades\, emphasizing the current SHM programs of civil infrastructure in the NY/NJ Metropolitan Area. He’ll discuss various projects highlighting structural modeling and analysis\, sensor networking and instrumentation\, data processing\, model validation\, and probabilistic predictions. Dr. Nassif will also provide an overview of how various sensor data might be processed to assess actual behavior of the structure at various stages\, and how unique solutions adopted in response to various agencies’ design and construction issues have led to major improvements in model predictions\, calibration of reliability-based design codes\, and successful implementation and modifications of technical specifications. \nSPEAKER \nDr. Nassif is a Professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering and Director of the Rutgers Infrastructure Monitoring and Evaluation (RIME) Group at Rutgers University\, where he has established the Bridge Engineering program. He is also serving the Associate Director for Outreach and Technology Transfer at the federally-supported C2SMART Tier 1 University Transportation Center (UTC) at which Dr. Nassif is leading the significant efforts to conduct the research area of the resilient\, secure\, and smart transportation infrastructure.

SUMMARY:Building a Decision Support Tool for Optimal & Equitable Distribution of EV Charging Stations in NYC
DESCRIPTION:Electric vehicles (EV) are key to the world’s decarbonization effort\, but access to charging infrastructure may become a prominent adoption barrier\, the burden of which will disproportionately affect low- and middle-income communities\, communities of color\, areas near multi-family housing\, and residential and rural areas. Researchers led by Professor Yury Dvorkin\, NYU Tandon\, and Professor Burçin Ünel\, Energy Policy Director at the Institute for Policy Integrity at NYU School of Law\, set out to address the accessibility of EV charging to build a decision-support tool to inform where and how to provide optimal\, equitable investments in EV charging infrastructure. In the first phase of their research\, they found that availability and affordability of EV charging stations in NYC are more strongly associated with median household income and the percentage of white population in each zip code\, rather than population density. \nThe team is hosting this update on their research so far\, seeking input from primary stakeholders to understand the technological gaps that prevents widespread expansion of EV charging infrastructure and to encourage their continued participation in this research to drive practically feasible and ethical research outcomes.

SUMMARY:Roadmap to Cooperative & Automated Transportation
DESCRIPTION:The world has placed high hopes in automated vehicle (AV) technologies in revolutionizing transportation system performance\, including multiplying roadway capacity and minimizing energy consumption. However\, research conducted by Dr. Xiaopeng (Shaw) Li and colleagues has found that existing production AVs exhibit comparable or even inferior performance compared to human-driven vehicles (HDV). To bridge this gap and realize the full potential of AVs\, Dr. Li will propose a roadmap of cooperative & automated transportation\, from optimal trajectory control in ideal conditions through a cooperative control framework incorporating edge computing and machine learning under real-world constraints. This analysis of ideal conditions (e.g.\, pure AV with perfect information and control) reveals critical theoretical properties specifying feasible time-space ranges of AV movements. Combined with customized mathematical programming and control methods\, these properties lead to efficient solutions (e.g.\, in milliseconds) to real-time optimal trajectory planning problems. The solutions discussed by Dr. Li will serve as the building blocks for solving more realistic AV control problems (e.g.\, traffic mixed with human drivers\, considering different cooperation classes\, with stochasticity and errors).

SUMMARY:Equity in Transportation Research
DESCRIPTION:As C2SMART heads into its sixth year of projects\, we seek to develop and fund projects which will be bigger and bolder than ever before. We are looking for projects which showcase possibility\, address complex challenges\, broaden collaboration\, and directly strengthen the transportation field. Research and development projects will be external industry/agency driven\, including an additional emphasis and reserve of funding for non-traditional research in the form of workshops and workforce development. There will also be dedicated funding for student-focused initiatives including cooperative education programs\, student-led research projects\, student entrepreneurship\, and summer programs for graduate\, undergraduate\, and K-12 students. \nAcross and underlying each of these themes\, however\, will be an emphasis on transportation equity. Each proposal will\, in some form\, need to be prepared to discuss how the project will directly address equity concerns\, or else include an equity performance measure of some kind. \nTo help researchers conceptualize what this means\, and to set guidance around how UTCs can lead the way in solving transportation equity problems\, C2SMART will be hosting an Equity in UTC Research panel to: \n\nBetter educate our network of PIs and researchers towards ensuring that each project has a meaningful equity component and how to  factor equity concerns into its overall methodology\,\nDirectly engage with and answer outstanding transportation equity problems that are not being addressed by the wider research community\, and\nEngage with both traditional and non-traditional equity partners on our projects.\n\nPOST-EVENT RESOURCES  \n\nEquity in Transportation Research\nSpeaker presentation: Luis Artieda Presentation\nSpeaker presentation: Alice Grossman Presentation\nSpeaker presentation: David Bragdon Presentation\nSpeaker presentation: Amy Fong Presentation\n\n \nSPEAKERS \nAmy Fong is a mathematical statistician at the Department of Labor Office of Disability Employment Policy. Amy does research on the employment outcomes and labor force participation of people with disabilities. She is interested in how access to services\, utilities and the built environment (such as public transportation and broadband internet) affect the well-being and socioeconomic status of people with disabilities. She is set to discuss how the US Census Bureau measures disability and why disability is a function of the built environment; illustrate how disability prevalence (rates of disability) by age\, race and gender varies across New York City; and explain where researchers can access the data themselves. \nAlice Grossman is a Research Scientist with the Center for Advancing Research in Transportation Emissions\, Energy\, and Health at Texas Transportation Institute. Her research and project management experience covers various areas of multimodal transportation with a focus accessibility\, technology in transportation\, vulnerable road user safety\, and performance measurement. She was previously a Senior Policy Analyst at the Eno Center for Transportation and is currently a Science\, Technology\, and Policy Fellow with the Inter-American Institute for Global Change and was a 2020-2021 Science Technology and Policy Fellow with the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS STPF) at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). \nLuis Artieda is an Inclusion and Sustainability expert with 10 years of experience in development at an international and local level. He focuses on the intersection of community economic development\, inclusion\, and sustainability. He was responsible for the strategic launch of the global campaign Cities For All\, as well as organizing diverse stakeholder events and high-level roundtables to global international forums (UNHabitat World Urban Forum\, Forum of Latin American Ministries of Housing\, UN High-Level Political Forum\, etc). He has facilitated high-level capacity-building workshops about inclusion and sustainability to city officials such as Amsterdam\, Barcelona\, and Abu Dhabi\, as well as the Inter-American Development\, World Bank\, and the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development. \nDavid Bragdon has been at the helm of TransitCenter since 2013\, leading a NYC-based civic foundation dedicated to improving public transportation to make cities more just\, sustainable\, and prosperous. TransitCenter conducts applied research and supports community-based advocacy. David spent the early part of his career in the maritime and aviation freight industries. During 2002-10\, he was elected to two terms as President of the Metro Council\, the regional government for the Portland\, Oregon area. He served as Director of New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s Office of Long-term Planning and Sustainability 2010-12. Transportation is a passion and a vocation for David. He drove a taxi cab for a year\, has jump-seated a 747 freighter into a remote airport in the far eastern steppes of the then-USSR\, rode a Dutch container ship up the Strait of Malacca\, and twice (once for five minutes in Minnesota and once for ten minutes in Iowa) has been allowed to run the engineer’s throttle on freight trains. He likes to move big things. \n

SUMMARY:Using AI to Improve CAV Operations in Mixed Traffic
DESCRIPTION:Rapid advances in artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML) offer unprecedented opportunities for improving the operations of connected and autonomous vehicles (CAVs) in a traffic stream that also includes human driven vehicles. Dr. Sikai (Sky) Chen will discuss recent developments in vehicle automation with mixed traffic stream\, including the challenges and opportunities associated with AI/ML algorithm development and application for CAV operations. These include leveraging real-time data using AI/ML to improve safety\, mobility\, and efficiency\, and rapidness of response to changing traffic environments. Dr. Chen will also discuss AI/ML cooperative control algorithms for multi-agent systems that consider dynamic interactions between heterogeneous system users (e.g.\, human drivers\, connected and/or automated vehicles). Results from extensive simulation experiments will be presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of such cooperative control innovations. Insights from this research can provide guidance to CAV manufacturers and transport agencies regarding infrastructure investments specifically for CAV operations.
