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. He received his Ph.D. degree and Master degree from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and the University of Illinois at Urbana and Champaign\, respectively. Before joining Texas A&M\, Yang worked as a postdoctoral research associate supported by the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering\, University of Wisconsin-Madison.  Yang has over ten years of experience in connected automated vehicle control and analysis\, traffic flow analysis\, AI applications on transportation\, and high-fidelity simulation.

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
