Autonomous driving is a highly anticipated approach toward eliminating roadway fatalities. At the same time, the bar for safety is both high and costly to verify. This work considers the role of remotely-located human operators supervising…

This paper proposes a novel perimeter-free regional traffic management strategy for networks under a connected and autonomous vehicle (CAV) environment. The proposed strategy requires a subset of CAVs to temporarily wait at nearby parking…

Auto manufacturers and research groups are working on autonomous driving for long period and achieved significant progress. Autonomous vehicles (AV) are expected to transform road traffic reduction from current conditions, avoiding…

In this article, we report on the design and evaluation of an external human-machine interface (eHMI) for a real autonomous vehicle (AV), developed to operate as a shared transport pod in a pedestrianized urban space. We present insights…

Traffic is a challenge in rural and urban areas alike with negative effects ranging from congestion to air pollution. Ride-sharing poses an appealing alternative to personal cars, combining the traffic-reducing ride bundling of public…

Urban mobility needs alternative sustainable travel modes to keep our pandemic cities in motion. Ride-pooling, where a single vehicle is shared by more than one traveller, is not only appealing for mobility platforms and their travellers,…

Public transportation systems are experiencing an increase in commuter traffic. This increase underscores the need for resilience strategies to manage unexpected service disruptions, ensuring rapid and effective responses that minimize…

The implementation of connected and automated vehicle (CAV) technologies enables a novel computational framework to deliver real-time control actions that optimize travel time, energy, and safety. Hardware is an integral part of any…

Autonomous vehicles (AVs), possibly using Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning (MARL) for simultaneous route optimization, may destabilize traffic networks, with human drivers potentially experiencing longer travel times. We study this…

The increasing shortage of drivers poses a significant threat to vulnerable populations, particularly seniors and disabled individuals who heavily depend on public transportation for accessing healthcare services and social events.…

Sag is a road section where a downhill changes into an uphill, and is a highway bottleneck. We consider a system in which all vehicles are connected, and run on a single-lane road with a sag. We propose a simple strategy for removing each…

In this paper we study a dynamic vehicle routing problem in which there are multiple vehicles and multiple classes of demands. Demands of each class arrive in the environment randomly over time and require a random amount of on-site service…

While conventional shared demand-responsive transportation (SDRT) systems mostly operate on a door-to-door policy, the usage of meeting points for the pick-up and drop-off of user groups can offer several advantages, like fewer stops and…

Mobility-as-a-Service (MaaS) is a paradigm that encourages the shift from private cars to more sustainable alternative mobility services. MaaS provides services that enhances and enables multiple modes of transport to operate seamlessly and…

In this paper, we study the challenging problem of how to balance taxi distribution across a city in a dynamic ridesharing service. First, we introduce the architecture of the dynamic ridesharing system and formally define the performance…

The advent of on-demand mobility systems is expected to have a tremendous potential on the wellness of transportation users in cities. Yet such positive effects are reached when the systems under consideration enable seamless integration…

Urban traffic state estimation is pivotal in furnishing precise and reliable insights into traffic flow characteristics, thereby enabling efficient traffic management. Traditional traffic estimation methodologies have predominantly hinged…

Transportation services play a crucial part in the development of modern smart cities. In particular, on-demand ridesharing services, which group together passengers with similar itineraries, are already operating in several metropolitan…

Many city residents cannot install their private electric vehicle (EV) chargers due to the lack of dedicated parking spaces or insufficient grid capacity. This presents a significant barrier towards large-scale EV adoption. To address this…

Advances in artificial intelligence (AI) including foundation models (FMs), are increasingly transforming human society, with smart city driving the evolution of urban living.Meanwhile, vehicle crowdsensing (VCS) has emerged as a key…
