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:Emerging Transportation Engineering Topics Using City as a Lab: A Roundtrip Story between Academia and Public Agency
DESCRIPTION:Are you interested in studying how the urban environment can be used to impact the\ndaily lives of millions? Do you want to understand how policymakers bring academic research to\nfruition? Or\, perhaps\, you have some nagging questions about your undergraduate studies and\nnavigating university to be successful? Come join us to learn and network about transportation\nresearch and academia. This event will be jointly hosted by NYU’s C2SMART lab\, IEEE Student\nBranch and North South University\, Women in Engineering Affinity Group at IEEE NSU\, and the\nNYU ITE/ITS student chapter. The event will consist of a seminar by C2SMART’s Dr. Jingqin\nGao about emerging transportation engineering topics and the urban environment as a sandbox\nfor transportation research\, from both the agency and academic perspectives. \nDr. Jingqin (Jannie) Gao\, completed her Ph.D. in Transportation Planning and\nEngineering at NYU Tandon\, and is currently working as a lead researcher at C2SMART\nUniversity Transportation Center funded by US Department of Transportation. She studied\nScience and Technology of Optical Information and received her B.S. from Tongji University and\nher M.S in Transportation Planning and Engineering from New York University. Her research\ninterests lie in big data and artificial intelligence solutions for transportation\, emerging\ntechnologies such as connected vehicles\, traffic simulation modeling\, parking management and\ntransportation economics. Before joining NYU\, she worked for the New York City Department of\nTransportation on modeling and data analysis to support the agency’s internal planning and\ntechnical review processes. Jingqin plays a leadership role both within her research group and\nfor the larger NYU Tandon community\, serving as the past president of the student chapters of\nthe Institute of Transportation Engineers and the Intelligent Transportation Society.

SUMMARY:New Approaches and Paradigms in Traffic Flow Modeling and Control
DESCRIPTION:In this talk\, Dr. Wen-Long Jin will present some of his recent results on new approaches and paradigms in traffic flow modeling and control. He will first discuss traffic flow models in three types of spaces: (1) provably safe driving models for both human-driven and autonomous vehicles in the absolute space on a road\, (2) bathtub models for network trip flows in a relative space with respect to individual travelers’ remaining trip distances\, and (3) day-to-day traffic flow models for departure time choice in an economic space with respect to the scheduling cost. Then he will present two studies on traffic system operations and control: (1) dynamic pricing schemes for high-occupancy-toll lanes with a single or multiple bottlenecks; and (2) fleet-size management for shared mobility systems with for-hire vehicles. \nDr.Wen-Long Jin (BS in Automatic Control\, University of Science and Technology of China\, 1998; PhD in Applied Mathematics\, UC Davis\, 2003) is a Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering at UC Irvine. He’s interested in fundamental principles\, concepts\, models\, and methods for analyzing\, operating\, and planning of transportation and mobility systems. Dr. Wen-Long Jin has systematically studied network traffic flow theory\, capacity drop and lane-changing models\, connected vehicle systems theory\, and green driving strategies. He is an editorial board editor of Transportation Research Part Band Transportation Science and an Associate Editor of Transportmetrica B. He has published one textbook entitled “Introduction to Network Traffic Flow Theory” and numerous journal and conference articles.
