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.

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.

SUMMARY:Incentive Design for Promoting Ridesharing
DESCRIPTION:Traffic congestion has become a serious issue around the globe\, partly owing to single-occupancy commuter trips. Ridesharing can present a suitable alternative for serving commuter trips. However\, there are several important obstacles that impede ridesharing systems from becoming a viable mode of transportation\, including the lack of a guarantee for a ride back home as well as the difficulty of obtaining a critical mass of participants. At this event\, Neda Masoud will discuss a study which addresses these obstacles by introducing a Traveler Incentive Program (TIP) to promote community-based ridesharing with a ride-back home guarantee among commuters. The TIP program allocates incentives to (1) directly subsidize a select set of ridesharing rides\, and (2) encourage a few\, carefully selected set of travelers to change their travel behavior. We formulate the underlying ride-matching problem as a budget-constrained min-cost flow problem and present a Lagrangian Relaxation-based algorithm with worst-case optimality bound to solve large-scale instances of this problem in polynomial time. We further propose a polynomial-time budget-balanced version of the problem. Numerical experiments suggest that allocating subsidies to change travel behavior is significantly more beneficial than directly subsidizing rides. Furthermore\, using a flat tax rate as low as 1% can double the system’s social welfare in the budget-balanced variant of the incentive program. \nBio: Neda Masoud is an Assistant Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of Michigan. She holds a Bachelor’s of Science Degree in Industrial Engineering and a Master’s of Science degree in Physics. She received her Ph.D. in Civil and Environmental Engineering from the University of California Irvine. Her research focuses on devising operational and planning tools to facilitate the transition into the next generation of mobility systems\, which are envisioned to be connected\, automated\, electrified\, and shared.
