Human trajectory data produced by daily mobile devices has proven its usefulness in various substantial fields such as urban planning and epidemic prevention. In terms of the individual privacy concern, human trajectory simulation has…
Computer-based tests (CBTs) play an important role in the professional career of any person. Universities use CBTs for admissions. Further, many large courses use CBTs for evaluation and grading. Almost all software companies use CBTs to…
Public-transit systems face a number of operational challenges: (a) changing ridership patterns requiring optimization of fixed line services, (b) optimizing vehicle-to-trip assignments to reduce maintenance and operation codes, and (c)…
Understanding urban mobility requires models that capture how people interact with and navigate the built environment. We present a scalable, generalizable agent-based framework in which daily schedules emerge from the interplay between…
There are many artificial intelligence algorithms for autonomous driving, but directly installing these algorithms on vehicles is unrealistic and expensive. At the same time, many of these algorithms need an environment to train and…
During the last decades, neutron beam transportation has been a well-known and established subject for designing proper neutron guides. However, sometimes unusual adaptation or adjustments are required out of original projects and after…
Safe navigation in cluttered environments is an important challenge for autonomous systems. Robots navigating through obstacle ridden scenarios need to be able to navigate safely in the presence of obstacles, goals, and ego objects of…
Semantic navigation is necessary to deploy mobile robots in uncontrolled environments like our homes, schools, and hospitals. Many learning-based approaches have been proposed in response to the lack of semantic understanding of the…
Robotics simulation plays an important role in the design, development, and verification and validation of robotic systems. Recent studies have shown that simulation may be used as a cheaper, safer, and more reliable alternative to manual,…
We present a tool to calculate distances and travel times between a set of origins and a set of destinations, using different modes of transport in Argentina. The input data for the tool is a set of destinations (a geo-referenced list of…
Seniors residing in rural areas often encounter limited accessibility to opportunities, resources, and services. This paper introduces a model proposing that both aging and rural residency are factors contributing to the restricted…
A set of very simple rules for driving behavior used to simulate roadway traffic gives realistic results. Because of its simplicity, it is easy to implement the model on supercomputers (vectorizing and parallel), where we have achieved real…
For the simulation of pedestrians a method is introduced to find routing alternatives from any origin position to a given destination area in a given geometry composed of walking areas and obstacles. The method includes a parameter which…
Predicting and planning interactive behaviors in complex traffic situations presents a challenging task. Especially in scenarios involving multiple traffic participants that interact densely, autonomous vehicles still struggle to interpret…
While recent developments in autonomous vehicle (AV) technology highlight substantial progress, we lack tools for rigorous and scalable testing. Real-world testing, the $\textit{de facto}$ evaluation environment, places the public in…
Human decision-making often involves constrained optimization. As LLM agents are deployed to assist with real-world tasks like travel planning, shopping, and scheduling, they must mirror this capability. We introduce COMPASS, a benchmark…
Visually impaired people face important challenges related to orientation and mobility. Indeed, 56% of visually impaired people in France declared having problems concerning autonomous mobility. These problems often mean that visually…
The multi-path Traveling Salesman Problem with stochastic travel costs arises in hybrid vehicle routing applications designed for Smart City and City Logistics, where multiple paths exist between each pair of locations. Travel times along…
The guiding task of a mobile robot requires not only human-aware navigation, but also appropriate yet timely interaction for active instruction. State-of-the-art tour-guide models limit their socially-aware consideration to adapting to…
Urban traffic regulation policies are increasingly used to address congestion, emissions, and accessibility in cities, yet their impacts are difficult to assess due to the socio-technical complexity of urban mobility systems. Recent…
