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.
