SUMMARY:Assisting Pedestrians with Vision Disabilities in Navigating Urban Streets – Lessons Learned from the NYC Connected Vehicle Pilot Mobile Accessible Pedestrian Signal System
DESCRIPTION:New York City is piloting connected vehicle (CV) technology to support the Vision Zero initiative and help eliminate injuries and fatalities caused by crashes. In Manhattan\, 73% of all crash fatalities involve pedestrians while this figure is only 14% nationwide. As a part of the USDOT CV Pilot Deployment Program\, two pedestrian oriented applications are deployed: 1) a generalized warning to vehicles of pedestrians in the roadway based on thermal imaging detection and 2) a Mobile Accessible Pedestrian Signal System (PED-SIG) application to assist pedestrians with vision disabilities. The PED-SIG application supports cellular communications to receive localized Signal Phase and Timing (SPaT) and MAP messages broadcast by the local Roadside Unit (RSU) to provides audio alerts and haptic prompts to assist pedestrians with vision disabilities in safely crossing streets at instrumented intersections. Volunteer participants with vision disabilities were recruited to participate in the field tests where Personal Information Devices (PIDs) were given to participants. This seminar will present how the pedestrian application was designed\, deployed and tested along with several valuable lessons learned throughout the deployment. \nSpeaker: \nDr. Jingqin (Jannie) Gao is currently working as a senior research associate at C2SMART University Transportation Center funded by the US Department of Transportation. She received her Ph.D. and M.S. in Transportation Planning and Engineering from New York University\, and her B.S. in Science and Technology of Optical Information from Tongji University. Her research interests lie in emerging technologies with emphasis on connected and automated vehicles\, accessible transportation\, big data and artificial intelligence solutions for transportation\, traffic simulation modeling\, and parking management. She was one of the lead researchers in evaluating the performance of the New York City Connected Vehicle Pilot Deploymentand and testing the mobile accessible pedestrian application. Before joining NYU\, she worked for the New York City Department of Transportation on modeling and data analysis to support the agency’s internal planning and technical review processes. Jingqin plays a leadership role both within her research group and for the larger NYU Tandon community\, serving as the past president of the student chapters of the Institute of Transportation Engineers and the Intelligent Transportation Society.

SUMMARY:NYCDOT Smart Routing Hackathon
DESCRIPTION:Currently in NYC\, truckers and trucking companies are reliant on a static map to know where they should and should not go. When events like construction or a road accident require rerouting\, truck drivers are at a loss because existing navigation tools do not include truck route priorities\, elevation restrictions\, or turn restrictions\, truck tolls\, or other details specific to their needs. From Saturday\, October 15 through Sunday\, October 23\, C2SMART\, in partnership with NYCDOT\, will host a Hackathon to invite students to design a 3D visualizer which helps drivers understand where they are in their route\, and helps them navigate the complexities of the city. \nThe event is open to all graduate and undergraduate students in New York City. Folks in New York City are welcome to attend Opening Ceremonies in person through our partnership with Transportation Camp; all participants are welcome to participate virtually during the work period. Final submissions will be presented at 3:00pm on October 23\, followed by an hour of networking opportunities for students\, industry professionals\, and agencies. \nPrizes will be awarded to the top three submissions\, and the winner’s design may be adopted by NYCDOT — allowing the winner to directly impact transportation in New York City. \nRegister for TransportationCamp here. \nRegister for the closing ceremony Zoom here.

SUMMARY:Virtual reality and simulation as a tool to investigate the safety of future mobility scenarios: opportunities and limitations in applied research
DESCRIPTION:Traffic accidents are among the leading causes of death for people aged 5–35 worldwide\, causing transport externalities and thus unsustainability. At the same time\, the introduction of almost fully connected and automated vehicles (CAVs) (levels 3–4 of SAE) is already a reality. Although CAVs go in the direction of smart mobility\, their sustainability is still questionable because their deployment in open traffic introduces unexplored risks. Indeed\, while technological progress is rapidly being pursued\, there remain significant issues related to the development and integration of CAVs with physical and digital infrastructure and to their user acceptance on shared roads. The main reason is a general perception that they are not safe and thus may introduce inequality. In this context\, neither the actual accident-based nor proactive methods for road safety analysis can be applied when CAVs interact with conventional users. This is primarily due to the lack of knowledge about the influence of the digital and physical infrastructure in the interactions among vehicles in mixed traffic conditions. In this framework\, the use of simulation and virtual reality\, combined with validation on real world scale\, represents the only approach to provide the basis for new computational methods for infrastructure safety assessment in future mobility scenarios based on a rigorous scientific approach. The use of simulation at different levels combined with new Surrogate Measures of Safety (SMoS) can address the problem of the safety evaluation of the interaction between conventional vehicles and CAVs. The seminar will present how virtual reality and simulation are being used as a tool to replace naturalistic observations in the real-world and their pros and cons\, in three different research projects on CAVs safety among which is a European Research Council Grant. \n  \nDr. Carmelo D’Agostino\, a Senior Lecturer of Transport Engineering at Lund University (Sweden)\, has consolidated and international recognized experience in modeling the relationship between safety and road characteristics\, and in the development and application of these models for assessing the safety of roads and the safety effects of design and management decisions.Carmelo’s research interest is going towards how to evaluate safety in new mobility scenarios. On this topic\, Carmelo has been recently awarded with a European Research Council Grant with a project proposal related to the development of new scientific method to evaluate the effects of infrastructure on the interaction of connected and automated vehicles and conventional road users.

SUMMARY:Individual Path Recommendation Under Public Transit Service Disruptions Considering Behavior Uncertainty and Equity
DESCRIPTION:During a public transit service disruption\, passengers usually need path recommendations to find alternative routes. In this webinar\, MIT PhD Candidate Baichuan Mo will discuss his proposal for a mixed-integer programming (MIP) formulation to model the individual-based path (IPR) recommendation problem during PT service disruptions with the objective of minimizing system travel time and respecting passengers’ path choice preferences. Passengers’ behavior uncertainty in path choices given recommendations and their travel time equity are also considered. He models the behavior uncertainty based on passenger’s prior preferences and posterior path choice probability distribution with two new concepts: epsilon-feasibility and gamma-concentration\, which control the mean and variance of path flows in the optimization problem. The IPR problem with behavior uncertainty is solved efficiently with Benders decomposition. A post-adjustment heuristic is used to address the equity requirement. The proposed approach is implemented in the Chicago Transit Authority (CTA) system with a real-world urban rail disruption as the case study. Results show that the proposed IPR model significantly reduces the average travel times compared to the status quo and outperforms the capacity-based benchmark path recommendation strategy. \n \nBaichuan Mo is a Ph.D. student in the transportation program at MIT. He completed his dual Master’s degree in Transportation and Computer Science at MIT in 2020. Prior to joining MIT\, he got a B.E. degree from the Department of Civil Engineering\, Tsinghua University\, awarded with the Tsinghua Presidential Scholarship. \nBaichuan’s main research interest is data-driven transportation modeling\, demand modeling\, and machine learning. His master thesis was on the network performance model for urban rail system monitoring. His current research focuses on unplanned incident analysis and management in urban rail systems\, sponsored by Chicago Transit Authority (CTA).

SUMMARY:Research and Practice: Scaling a Flood Sensor Network for a Resilient NYC
DESCRIPTION:The FloodSense project\, first seeded by C2SMART in 2020\, developed a publicly-accessible platform that provides real-time flood information through deployed sensors capable of detecting the presence of water. Designed to help cities respond to emergencies by providing real-time information on flood depth\, frequency\, and duration\, the project has since grown into the NYC FloodNet consortium\, a partnership with CUNY\, the NYC Mayor’s Offices of Climate Resiliency\, and of the CTO\, Science and Resilience Institute\, Jamaica Bay\, and New York Sea Grant– and plans to scale sensor deployment all over New York City. The research team will share the development and impact of the project\, and its role in the future of NYC’s emergency response and resiliency\, detailing how FloodNet sensors were able to detect and generate warnings from flooding resulting from Hurricane Ida\, the challenges and opportunities of scale\, and the future of smart urban resilience.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Collaborative and Adversarial 3D Perception for Autonomous Driving
DESCRIPTION:Robust and reliable perception systems serve as the “eyes” of autonomous vehicles. LiDAR is a widely applied perception sensor in autonomous vehicles for capturing 3D geometry information of the environment. However\, LiDAR-based perception faces many challenges such as data sparsity\, occlusions\, and motion distortion. In this talk\, I will show how we design novel 3D deep learning algorithms from two aspects\, collaborative and adversarial\, in order to improve the robustness of LiDAR-based 3D perception. For effective and efficient collaborative perception\, we propose DiscoNet. It uses a dynamic directed graph with matrix-valued edge weight for an ego-vehicle to adaptively retrieve the most important complementary information from its neighboring vehicles\, which could improve its own perception performance and robustness. Besides collaborative perception\, we also study the adversarial robustness of LiDAR-based perception\, and reveal an often-overlooked vulnerability that lies in the LiDAR motion correction process. We show that spoofing of a vehicle’s trajectory estimation with small adversarial perturbations can jeopardize LiDAR perception. We hope our collaborative and adversarial 3D perception research can help improve the robustness and safety of autonomous driving systems. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \nSpeaker Biography: Yiming Li is a Ph.D. candidate in AI4CE Lab at New York University (NYU) with the Dean’s PhD Fellowship.

SUMMARY:Women in TransitTech: Solutions to the Pink Tax on Transportation
DESCRIPTION:“The Pink Tax” has emerged as a term used to describe the higher prices women pay for equivalent products and services: the classic example is that a pink “ladies’” razor costs more than a blue “men’s” one. But how pervasive is this “tax\,” and how does it impact services that seem at first glance more difficult to gender\, like transportation? The NYC subway charges the same fare to every adult\, regardless of gender — but how do social factors\, like more frequent exposure to harassment or heightened caregiving responsibilities\, affect how women incur transportation costs? \nDive into a discussion on “The Pink Tax on Transportation: Women’s Challenges in Mobility\,” a recent study by the NYU Rudin Center for Transportation\, moderated by one of its authors\, Sarah Kaufman (Associate Director at NYU Rudin). Kaufman will lead a conversation with three transit experts on the paper’s findings\, its implications for equitable transit strategy and planning\, and the solutions panelists have explored to minimize women’s additional transportation costs. \nSpeakers\n\n\n\n\nMeghna Khanna\nSenior Director at Mobility Corridors\nLA Metro\nMeghna Khanna is a Senior Director with the Mobility Corridors Department at LA Metro.

SUMMARY:ITS America Webinar: Creating Access Through Equity in Transportation
DESCRIPTION:We all rely on some form of transportation to access employment\, education\, health care\, and other services. But not everyone has equal access to high-quality\, reliable\, and safe transportation. Even with a growing variety of transportation options available\, many residents find themselves limited in their choices due to physical accessibility limitations\, safety concerns\, or other impediments to safe and efficient travel. \nBy leveraging and utilizing new and emerging technologies\, we can build a more affordable and inclusive transportation system for more of our communities\, particularly for those who have traditionally been underserved or overlooked in transportation policy development. In this webinar\, leaders from top US research institutions will discuss how new developments and innovations in Transportation Equity can help make our system safer and more equitable for all users. \nSpeaker:\n• Dr. Robert Hampshire – Deputy Assistant Secretary for Research and Technology and Chief Science Officer\, U.S. DOT \nPanelists:\n• Dr. Mansoureh Jeihani – Director of the Urban Mobility & Equity Center (UMEC) and Professor\, Morgan State University\n• Dr. Kaan Ozbay – Director of the Connected Cities with Smart Transportation (C2SMART) Center and Professor\, New York University\n• Tia Boyd – Research Associate with the Center for Urban Transportation Research (CUTR)\, University of South Florida\n• Dr. Hilary Nixon\, Deputy Executive Director\, Mineta Transportation Institute (MTI) at San José State University (SJSU) (moderator)

SUMMARY:Lane Changing of Autonomous Vehicles in Mixed Traffic Environments: A Reinforcement Learning Approach
DESCRIPTION:The emergence of connected and autonomous vehicles (CAVs) presents increased opportunities to mitigate traffic congestion\, improve safety and reduce accidents. Professor Zhong-Ping Jiang\, and researchers Leilei Cui and Sayan Chakraborty are applying innovative reinforcement learning control methods to one challenging aspect of CAV control: lane changing in mixed traffic. The team takes a novel approach by reducing the trajectory planning and tracking problem down to the minimization of a cost function that depends on a target way-point in the lane a CAV is targeting. They’ll discuss the integration of reinforcement learning and adaptive/approximate dynamic programming methods without assuming exact knowledge of surrounding vehicles\, while avoiding the curses of dimensionality and modeling of conventional dynamic programming\, and they’ll share simulation and validation results of this promising method towards minimizing fuel consumption and improve safety of the whole traffic stream. \nPresenters \nProfessor Zhong-Ping Jiang is known for his contributions to stability and control of interconnected nonlinear systems\, and is a key contributor to the nonlinear small-gain theory.
