Vehicle Sensor Data (VSD) Based Traffic Control in Connected Automated Vehicle (CAV) Environment

Xianfeng (Terry) Yang
It can be expected that automated vehicles and human-driven vehicles will coexist in the transportation network for quite some time. In order to support various traffic control tasks it is critical to develop a reliable model to understand the real-time traffic patterns in this mixed environment. A new report from the National Institute for Transportation and Communities (NITC) contributes three new tools to help planners model freeway traffic with both connected automated vehicles (CAVs) and… Read More

Understanding Human-centered AI through Data Integration and Analytics

David Yang
Human Centered Artificial Intelligence (HCAI) is an approach to developing and implementing Artificial Intelligence technology applications that focuses on the needs of individuals and communities who utilize these applications. This project intends to develop course modules and tools for students to understand human-centered AI methods and data requirements, conduct specific mobility analysis using AI-empowered technologies, and build multimodal technology solutions to improve mobility. The… Read More
