SUMMARY:Seminar: Realizing Benefits at Low Market Penetration of Connected Automated Vehicles
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Prof. Brian Park\, UVA: \nIn this talk\, I will present connected vehicles and connected-automated vehicles research demonstrating the potential for improving traffic operations at low market penetrations. The first presentation is a “day one operation” of connected vehicles\, the transit signal priority (TSP) case\, which works even if only buses are connected vehicles. A key advantage of connected vehicle-based TSP (referred to as TSPCV) is its capability to implement (i) cooperative control\, (ii) green reallocation\, and (iii) handling multiple buses approaching from conflicting directions. Both simulation-based study results and a proof-of-concept field implementation featuring traffic signal controllers and connected vehicle communications will be presented. The second presentation is motivated by adaptive cruise control (ACC) not being widely used\, not taking advantage of connectivity\, and human drivers wanting to be in charge. When a human driver speeds up or down depending on their perceived safety in terms of spacing or time headway to their preceding vehicle\, the accelerations or decelerations are not optimal due to human nature. Thus\, an algorithm called human-in-the-loop connected cruise control (hCCC\, “h-triple-C”) is developed. It implements optimal acceleration or deceleration based on (i) the human driver’s intention to speed up or down and (ii) a feedforward signal from its preceding vehicle. The hCCC algorithm was tested using a driving simulator and compared with human drivers. These two presentations showcase exemplary research conducted for the early stages of connected vehicles and connected-automated vehicles\, with significant potential for real-world deployment.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Digitized Lifetime Concrete Corrosion and Humidity Health Monitoring of Bridges\, Parking Decks\, and Garages\, and Other Important Structures
DESCRIPTION:Concrete corrosion represents a high risk to the reliability of critical infrastructure and is the cause of substantial maintenance\, refurbishment\, and rehabilitation costs. As demonstrated in two specific case studies\, a fully iot-enabled\, remote\, corrosion monitoring system contributes to smart infrastructure monitoring of the next generation. The case studies represent cast-in-place concrete bridge decks and post-tensioned bridges in the EU. The sensors are fully embedded within the concrete structure\, and they track the key parameters of humidity and temperature and detect actual corrosion\, not potential. As a result of RFID technology\, the passive sensors enhance the durability and lifetime of the structure\, monitoring and delivering valuable data allowing detection of corrosion risks long before they become visible. Externally mounted gateways gather the information and transmit the data online to enable a remotely accessible\, cost-effective monitoring and alarm system. Therefore\, exploratory inspections can be reduced or eliminated\, the service life of the infrastructure extended\, and rehabilitation costs significantly reduced.\n\n\n\nPresented by  Kline Engineering’s Dan Kline.

SUMMARY:Seminar: The Intersection of Cloud Computing and Civil Infrastructure
DESCRIPTION:Over the coming years\, bridges and other physical infrastructure will experience unprecedented demands due to climate driven changes and trends in freight. These increasing demands are set against a backdrop of infrastructure deterioration as many assets reach the end of their intended life. This presentation will examine not only these trends but also technology that can be leveraged by the engineering community to better analyze\, understand\, and overcome these challenges. \nThe objective of this presentation is to familiarize the engineering community with technology tools that have become well established in adjacent industries and are poised to play a large role in the field of civil infrastructure. These include cloud computing\, programming languages\, data visualization and machine learning. These tools are examined in the context of two upcoming challenges for our industry: climate threats and increasingly heavy freight. Ultimately\, the engineers who know these problems inside and out should have the tools and skill sets to know the data inside and out. \nPresented by HNTB’s Erik Zuker\, PE\, and Rob Wildish\, EIT.

SUMMARY:Seminar: Leveraging AI to Improve Safety for Personal Mobility Device Users
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Prof. Reuben Tamakloe\, Research Assistant Professor\, KAIST \nAbstract: Personal Mobility Devices (PMDs) have seen a remarkable rise in popularity\, becoming a preferred mode of urban transportation. However\, this surge has brought significant safety concerns\, highlighted by increased PMD-involved crashes. Research shows that PMD user behavior and the physical environment\, especially in urban areas\, play crucial roles in these crashes. This emphasizes the need for a comprehensive investigation into the factors associated with injury outcomes in PMD-involved accidents. Notably\, there is a research gap in analyzing the determinants behind fatal or severe PMD crashes\, particularly those where the PMD rider is at fault. Additionally\, it is unclear how micro-scale streetscape features influence the fatality of these crashes\, making it difficult for safety researchers and urban planners to efficiently address the road safety problems associated with PMD users. \nWith advancements in computing power\, safety researchers can now utilize state-of-the-art machine learning tools to understand the factors contributing to fatal/severe crashes and develop solutions to reduce their occurrence and severity. In this study\, we apply unsupervised machine learning tools and computer vision to explore the factors associated with fatal or serious injuries in homogeneous groups of crashes caused by PMD riders. Furthermore\, we use computer vision and automated machine learning tools to investigate the impact of streetscape quality features namely greenness\, openness\, enclosure\, walkability\, and imageability—developed based on micro-scale built environment features such as sidewalk proportion\, vegetation proportion\, and building/wall proportion—on the injury outcomes of PMD-involved crashes. \nOur analysis revealed intriguing insights\, indicating unique factor associations in homogeneous PMD-involved crashes connected with fatal/severe injury. Additionally\, the study identified a strong link between these streetscape features and injury outcomes. From the non-linear factor impact analysis\, opportunities to enhance PMD rider safety by improving the built environment were identified. Policymakers can apply these findings to improve PMD rider safety\, contributing to greater environmental sustainability.

SUMMARY:Mass Transit & Climate Change
DESCRIPTION:Public transportation plays a critical role in the fight against climate change. Transportation is the single largest source of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions\, accounting for about 28% of the U.S. total. Of that\, public transportation contributes little\, but it plays a critical role in enabling mode shift. Reducing emissions and improving air quality in all modes\, including transit\, is also important to counter the effects of climate change. With excessive flooding and extreme heat on the rise\, climate change is challenging our transportation networks. In response\, the MTA recently published its Climate Resilience Roadmap\, a comprehensive framework to fortify the transit system against the impacts of climate change. With increased funding\, FTA is expanding public transportation’s role in mitigating climate effects\, making a record investment in low- and no-emission technology\, promoting more equitable transit-oriented development and fostering resiliency through grant programs. The NYU Rudin Center for Transportation presents an expert panel to discuss strategies that will enable our transit system to adapt and expand. \nPanelists\nVeronica Vanterpool\, Acting Administrator\, Federal Transportation Administration\nJamie Torres-Springer\, President\, MTA Construction & Development\nTom Prendergast\, Executive Vice President & New York Metro Chief Executive\, AECOM\nModerator: Sarah M. Kaufman\, Director\, NYU Rudin Center for Transportation\nThis event is sponsored by AECOM\, with additional support from NYU C2SMARTER\, a Tier 1 University Transportation Center\, and the NYU Climate Change Initiative Seed Grant.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Spatio-temporal Adaptive AI for Urban Mobility Modeling
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Rapidly developing mobile and sensor networks are accumulating massive volumes of human mobility data in cities. Predictive modeling on these data is a fundamental problem in building decision support systems for various urban and transportation applications. In the real world\, such spatio-temporal data show multifold heterogeneity over space and non-stationarity over time\, which makes the prediction task especially challenging. My research focuses on developing adaptive AI algorithms (e.g.\, meta learning) to enhance the robustness of mobility prediction models. Making robust predictions across space and time lays a foundation for not only next generation mobility services\, but also emergency response to adverse events\, including traffic accidents\, pandemic lockdown\, and natural disasters. \nBio: Zhaonan Wang joined NYU Shanghai in Fall 2024 as a Tenure-Track Assistant Professor jointly appointed by Urban Studies and Computer Science. Zhaonan obtained his PhD degree in 2022 from the University of Tokyo\, advised by Ryosuke Shibasaki; during his PhD study\, he also visited the research group led by Flora Salim\, Cisco Chair at UNSW CSE. After graduation\, Zhaonan did his postdoctoral research on Spatial AI under the supervision of Shaowen Wang and Jiawei Han at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (CyberGIS Center & NSF I-GUIDE). Zhaonan’s research interests lie in the interdisciplinary area between urban & AI\, and he’s been published in top-tier AI and data science venues\, including AAAI\, KDD\, WWW\, CIKM\, ICDE\, AIJ\, TKDE. He’s also been invited to serve as a Program Committee member and awarded travel grants for multiple times. During his PhD\, Zhaonan won a MEXT (Japanese government) scholarship in Top Global University Initiative\, Top-10 candidates in KDD Cup 2019 Humanity RL Track\, and best resource paper runner-up at ACM CIKM 2021. He also had close collaboration with industry\, including the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST in Japan)’s AI Research Center\, Yahoo Japan\, and Toyota.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Tension Stiffening Related to Cracking and Deflection of Reinforced Concrete
DESCRIPTION:Hardy Cross once wrote that “strength is essential and otherwise unimportant” to emphasize it makes little difference what other attributes a structure has if it is not sufficiently strong. Looking at this from a different perspective one could say that “strength is essential and otherwise unimportant … when serviceability governs” to ensure the structure performs adequately under the day-to-day service conditions once we know the structure has adequate strength. In fact\, certain types of structures such as elevated slabs and fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) reinforced concrete members are often stronger than needed once serviceability requirements are satisfied\, and in these types of cases the structure is designed for serviceability first and then checked for strength. Hence\, safety and serviceability related to cracking and deflection play an important role in the design of concrete structures. \nThis presentation is focused on deflection of reinforced concrete. The role of cracking\, tension stiffening and shrinkage in understanding deflection behavior of reinforced concrete is explored. In particular\, emphasis is placed on the pitfalls of ignoring the concrete shrinkage. Rationale and justification are provided for the recent adoption by most codes in North America of a new approach for the effective member stiffness used to calculate deflection. Work is presently underway with colleagues from Rutgers to extend this approach to prestressed concrete. \nPresented by Peter H. Bischoff\, Department of Civil Engineering\, University of New Brunswick\, Fredericton\, NB\, Canada \nPeter H. Bischoff is an Honorary Research Professor in the Department of Civil Engineering at the University of New Brunswick in Fredericton\, New Brunswick\, Canada\, where he has contributed to teaching and research in reinforced and prestressed concrete. He is a fellow of the American Concrete Institute (ACI) and Canadian Society for Civil Engineering (CSCE) and has served on numerous ACI Committees during his career. Dr. Bischoff is a recognized expert in serviceability of concrete structures related to deflection and has received several awards for work in this area. He has also been involved in development of a design code for fiber reinforced concrete (FRC) and UHPC that has been implemented into the Canadian Highway Bridge Design Code S6.

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.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Bridging the Gap: Enhancing Infrastructure Safety with Robust Vibration-based Monitoring
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: The idea that the majority of bridges have reached the end of their service life has become widely accepted. The need for continuous monitoring of a large number of structures has become both a duty and a burden for administrations and operators. While technological advancements enable the acquisition of numerous structural parameters\, effectively harnessing the vast amount of data generated is not a straightforward task. Therefore\, an automated tool that can conduct end-to-end analysis with minimal effort and cost is crucial. The presented solution is applied to a monumental reinforced concrete arch bridge\, and instrumented with tailored monitoring system\, from sensors to the cloud-based dashboard. Modal parameters such as vibration modes\, modal shapes\, and damping are determined using the Operational Modal Analysis (OMA) algorithm\, specifically 2 nd order blind identification\, in an automated process. The analysis is performed through robust software for automatic modal identification\, providing high quality results purified by any environmental effects. Finally\, by enhancing the potential of the cloud for measurement data storage\, the implementation of advanced data management tools is being considered as interesting emerging future prospects. \nBio: Giacomo Imposa is a structural engineer with a PhD in Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) from Iuav University of Venice\, Italy\, specializing in dynamic identification of masonry structures and bridges. His academic pursuits have primarily unfolded in Italy\, with a notable stint in Portugal\, in Guimaraes\, where he was hosted by Prof. Lourenco\, the most important expert in the world regarding Heritage buildings. At Kistler\, since January\, Giacomo has been globally engaged in advancing new bridge-related applications concerning structural monitoring in his capacity as a business developer. His responsibilities encompass the entire measurement chain\, spanning from sensors to data\, encapsulated through bridge reporting.

SUMMARY:Student Learning Hub: Online Optimization Meets Urban Transportation
DESCRIPTION:Instructor: Tao Li\, New York University \nBeginner level: No prior experience required. Basic optimization knowledge would be helpful but not required. \nDescription: Urban transportation networks are complex and dynamic\, and as a result\, offline planning alone may not ensure effective real-time management. Therefore\, this course introduces online optimization methods with a focus on transportation applications. We’ll start with gradient descent in conventional convex optimization\, move to online gradient descent\, and briefly explore multi-agent online learning and associated equilibrium convergence. We’ll also discuss challenges in deploying online optimization in urban transportation.

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.

SUMMARY:Seminar: Positive Feedback in Transportation Systems
DESCRIPTION:This talk will present tractable models of road traffic and transit which feature positive feedback\, whereby my travel choice (e.g.\, whether to travel\, what mode to take\, etc.) leads others to make the same choice. Positive feedback amplifies policy impacts and can lead surprising results\, such as a toll that raises traffic demand and a road expansion that cuts it. Overall\, the talk will demonstrate the insights possible from incorporating economic thinking into detailed engineering models. I will also show my group’s AI chatbot that answers questions about transit systems. \nSince 2018\, Lewis Lehe has been an assistant professor in the transportation systems group at the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering\, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. His research focuses on the economics and measurement of travel in cities. He holds an MA in Transport Economics of University of Leeds\, and MS and PhD degrees in civil engineering from UC Berkeley. He serves on TRB’s Economics and Finance Committee\, as the Treasurer of Findings Press and as Communications Officer of the International Transportation Economics Association.
