Abstract:
With the emergence of various transportation technologies, comes an intricate web of challenges and opportunities in the pursuit of effective, efficient, and sustainable transportation solutions. This talk explores challenges of creating a new transportation environment — one that balances contrasting needs of its agents (humans, vehicles, infrastructure, and automation). The discussion will focus on themes of (i) human-machine interactions, (ii) transportation data-driven learning under heterogeneity, (iii) environmental rebound effect of emerging mobility, and (iv) transportation management strategies.
