SUMMARY:Seminar: Self-driving Vehicles as Transit in US Settings: Complementing Buses and Trains with Demand-responsive SAVs
DESCRIPTION:ABSTRACT: Shared autonomous vehicles (SAVs) can deliver door-to-door (D2D)\, first-mile last-mile (FMLM) and dynamic ride-sharing (DRS or pooled-ride) services in many cities today. This 3-part presentation explores potential improvements in US travel and transit systems by simulating interactions between fixed-route and on-demand SAV services across the Chicago and Austin regions. The first study microsimulates SAVs providing fixed-route\, fixed-stop service alongside private automobiles. System costs for each traveler type are computed across different demand profiles\, SAV sizes (seat counts)\, and other dimensions; and smaller SAVs reduce corridor costs across most scenarios. \nThe second uses POLARIS to mesoscopically simulate D2D plus FMLM and autonomous-bus services across the 20-county Chicago region’s hundreds of train stations\, thousands of bus stops\, and millions of travelers. Assuming fares of $0.50 per passenger-mile and 1 SAV for every 40 residents\, this mode is predicted to attract 15% of person-trips and lower household vehicle ownership by 40%. Adding FMLM service raises the region’s traditional transit (bus + train) split from 5.4% to 6.3%\, with each SAV serving 12% more trip requests per day. Automating the bus system (and halving headways\, with half the seats per bus) does little to mode splits. The third study simulates a full replacement of buses with autonomous services across the 6-county Austin region. Using the region’s bus stops as pickup and drop-off points\, the transit fleet size falls by 10% or more\, thanks to coordination in trip services. Subsidizing SAV fleet managers to serve current bus demand emerges as the region’s most cost-effective and welfare-improving transit option. \nBIO: Kara Kockelman is a registered professional engineer and holds a PhD\, MS\, and BS in civil engineering\, a master’s in city planning\, and a minor in economics from the University of California at Berkeley. Dr. Kockelman has been a professor of transportation engineering at the University of Texas at Austin for 27 years\, and is Associate Site Director of the NSF Industry-University Cooperative Research Center for Efficient Vehicles and Sustainable Transportation Systems and an MIT Mobility Fellow.

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:CUE Distinguished Seminar Series: Simulating the Physical and the Connected: Neural Models for Structures and Networks
DESCRIPTION:Advances in machine learning are transforming how we model and design engineered systems\, from industrial components to large-scale infrastructure networks. This seminar presents recent developments in physics-based neural networks and neural operators for fast\, accurate physics-based simulation. The first part focuses on individual structures and introduces models that accelerate design computations and improve generalization across geometries and parameters. The second part focuses on graph neural network (GNN) models for infrastructure networks and their use in developing digital twins of transportation systems. These GNNs enable rapid computation of network metrics—such as shortest paths\, connectivity\, and dynamic traffic flows—and can incorporate physics constraints like travel demand influence and flow conservation for enhanced accuracy and consistency. Case studies on urban networks demonstrate how such models can support resilient and data-driven decision making for asset management\, mobility\, and emergency response. \nDr. Hadi Meidani is an Associate Professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC). His research focuses on uncertainty quantification\, scientific and physics-informed machine learning\, and fast computational methods for infrastructure and engineering design. He earned his Ph.D. in Civil Engineering\, his M.S. in Electrical Engineering\, and his M.S. in Structural Engineering from the University of Southern California (USC). Prior to joining UIUC\, he was a postdoctoral scholar in the Department of Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering at USC and in the Scientific Computing and Imaging Institute at the University of Utah. Dr. Meidani is the Chair of the Machine Learning Committee of the ASCE Engineering Mechanics Institute. At UIUC\, he is the Founding Chair of the AI in CEE Task Force in his department. Dr. Meidani is the recipient of an NSF CAREER Award for his work on fast computational models for infrastructure networks.

SUMMARY:Seminar: AI-empowered Digital Twin for Traffic Safety Analysis
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Traffic safety research faces the paradox of rarity—the most critical crashes occur so infrequently that passive methods relying on historical records cannot accurately estimate traffic risks. This talk first reviews current methodologies and highlights their limitations in handling rare\, high-risk events. Building on these insights\, we chart a new path that fuses active safety analysis of near-miss events and generative AI. As a preliminary foundation for the generative AI–enabled safety analysis\, our recent work provides digital-twin–enabled active safety analysis through three pivotal components: (1) a physics-grounded active safety module that identifies near-miss events across diverse traffic contexts; (2) group-wise interaction modeling that captures multi-agent behaviors in traffic; and (3) a high-fidelity digital twin integrating detailed vehicle dynamics\, tire–road interaction\, and the above active-safety and interaction models. Together\, these elements enable proactive risk prevention\, expanding safety analysis beyond observed outcomes to the full spectrum of what could happen\, and lay the foundation for Vision Zero.\n\nBio: Dr. Yang Zhou is an assistant professor in the Zachry Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Texas A&M University\, and career initiation fellow of Texas A&M Institute of data science.

SUMMARY:Seminar: A Large-scale Simulation Platform and AI-driven Operational Strategies for On-demand Ride Services
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: In this work\, we develop a novel multi-functional and open-sourced simulation platform for on-demand ride service operations\, which can simulate the behaviors and movements of various agents (including drivers and passengers) on a real transportation network. It provides a few accessible portals for users to train and test various optimization algorithms\, especially reinforcement learning algorithms\, for a variety of tasks\, including on-demand matching\, idle vehicle repositioning\, and dynamic pricing. Evaluated by experiments based on real-world datasets\, the simulator is demonstrated to be an efficient and effective test bed for various tasks related to on-demand ride service operations. \nBio: Dr. Jintao Ke is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Civil Engineering at the University of Hong Kong (HKU).

SUMMARY:SLH: Introduction to Bayesian Optimization and Its Applications in Transportation and AI
DESCRIPTION:This talk introduces Bayesian Optimization (BO)\, a sample-efficient framework for optimizing expensive\, noisy black-box functions. We will cover the core ideas behind surrogate modeling (e.g.\, Gaussian processes) and acquisition functions (such as EI and UCB) that balance exploration and exploitation to find high-performing solutions with limited evaluations. The applications focus on two representative directions: (1) parameter calibration for transportation simulation—tuning behavioral and network parameters so simulated traffic patterns match real observations; and (2) hyperparameter optimization in machine learning—automatically selecting model and training settings to improve accuracy\, robustness\, and efficiency. We will also highlight practical considerations such as constraints\, multi-objective trade-offs\, and scalable implementations.\n\nPresented by NYU’s Yu Tang
