This work presents a methodology to design trajectory tracking feedback control laws, which embed non-parametric statistical models, such as Gaussian Processes (GPs). The aim is to minimize unmodeled dynamics such as undesired slippages.…

Autonomous systems often operate in environments where the behavior of multiple agents is coordinated by a shared global state. Reliable estimation of the global state is thus critical for successfully operating in a multi-agent setting. We…

This paper considers the practically important case of nonparametrically estimating heterogeneous average treatment effects that vary with a limited number of discrete and continuous covariates in a selection-on-observables framework where…

Nowadays, methodologies coming from studying physical systems are being applied to the description of a wide variety of complex systems. In particular, one can study thermodynamical methods to describe the overall behavior of many systems,…

We derive macroscopic traffic equations from specific gas-kinetic equations, dropping some of the assumptions and approximations made in previous papers. The resulting partial differential equations for the vehicle density and average…

Besides the traditional data collection by stationary detectors, recent advances in wireless and sensor technologies have promoted new potentials for a vehicle-based data collection and local dissemination of information. By means of…

The rapid urbanization and increasing traffic have serious social, economic, and environmental impact on metropolitan areas worldwide. It is of a great importance to understand the complex interplay of road networks and traffic conditions.…

This paper revisits the fundamental mathematics of Taylor series to approximate curves with function representation and arc-length-based parametric representation. Parametric representation is shown to preserve its form in coordinate…

In the era of Big Data, prompt analysis and processing of data sets is critical. Meanwhile, statistical methods provide key tools and techniques to extract valuable insights and knowledge from complex data sets. This paper creatively…

Recent advances in operations research and machine learning have revived interest in solving complex real-world, large-size traffic control problems. With the increasing availability of road sensor data, deterministic parametric models have…

Stochastic evolution equations describing the dynamics of systems under the influence of both deterministic and stochastic forces are prevalent in all fields of science. Yet, identifying these systems from sparse-in-time observations…

Capacity drop is a traffic phenomenon in which the discharge flow from a queue is lower than the theoretical infrastructure capacity. This paper proposes a generic analytical method to estimate the queue discharge flow of freeway traffic.…

Most optimal routing problems focus on minimizing travel time or distance traveled. Oftentimes, a more useful objective is to maximize the probability of on-time arrival, which requires statistical distributions of travel times, rather than…

Composition methodologies in the current literature are mainly to promote estimation efficiency via direct composition, either, of initial estimators or of objective functions. In this paper, composite estimation is investigated for both…

This paper proposes a new framework based on joint statistical models for evaluating risks of automated vehicles in a naturalistic driving environment. The previous studies on the Accelerated Evaluation for automated vehicles are extended…

Mobility-on-Demand (MoD) systems require load balancing to maintain consistent service across regions with uneven demand subject to time-varying traffic conditions. The load-balancing objective is to jointly minimize the fraction of lost…

We propose a traffic congestion estimation system based on unsupervised on-line learning algorithm. The system does not rely on background extraction or motion detection. It extracts local features inside detection regions of variable size…

Trajectory and intention prediction of traffic participants is an important task in automated driving and crucial for safe interaction with the environment. In this paper, we present a new approach to vehicle trajectory prediction based on…

Connected Vehicles (CVs) have the potential to significantly increase the safety, mobility, and environmental benefits of transportation applications. In this research, we have developed a real time adaptive traffic signal control algorithm…

Traffic volume is an indispensable ingredient to provide fine-grained information for traffic management and control. However, due to limited deployment of traffic sensors, obtaining full-scale volume information is far from easy. Existing…
