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.

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.
