Ramp metering: Control Strategies and New Insights

Virtual Event Virtual Event

Dynamic flow networks are a class of useful models for a variety of engineering systems including transportation systems, production lines and communication networks. This session will introduce its basic concepts, mathematical modeling and control strategies. The application will be illustrated with ramp metering, a typical strategy for freeway management.

Data & Driving: Mobileye on Urban Mobility

Virtual 6 MetroTech Center, Brooklyn, NY, United States
Virtual Event Hybrid Event

Bus Stop Chatter is a new series from C2SMART which brings transportation students into conversation with some of today's leading mobility companies to discuss innovation, disruption, and possibility in today's smart cities. In this installment, we will be joined by Laura Fox, General Manager at Lyft's CitiBike program, to discuss the role of shared mobility systems, from bikes to taxis, in driving the evolution of smart cities and urban mobility. Laura will share updates and highlights from Lyft's micromobility programming, and discuss bike safety with C2SMART student Suzana Duran Bernardes, followed by an audience Q&A.

NYCDOT Smart Routing Hackathon

CUNY School of Law 2 Ct Square W, Queens, NY, United States
Virtual Event Hybrid Event

Traffic accidents are among the leading causes of death for people aged 5–35 worldwide, causing transport externalities and thus unsustainability. At the same time, the introduction of almost fully connected and automated vehicles (CAVs) (levels 3–4 of SAE) is already a reality. Although CAVs go in the direction of smart mobility, their sustainability is still questionable because their deployment in open traffic introduces unexplored risks. The seminar will present how virtual reality and simulation are being used as a tool to replace naturalistic observations in the real-world and their pros and cons, in three different research projects on CAVs safety among which is a European Research Council Grant.

Virtual Event Virtual Event

3On February 22, 2023, New York University and Tongji University are joining forces to host an online urban transportation forum. The topics to be covered in this virtual event include

Optimal dispatching of electric vehicles for providing charging on- demand service leveraging charging-on-the-move technology

Virtual Event Virtual Event

Dr. Lili Du will discuss the EP fleet management problem, which is mathematically modeled as a vehicle routing problem (i.e., mE2-VRP), aiming to optimally dispatch the minimum number of EPs to approach and serve the EDs using different proportions of EV flows to save EDs’ travel time and mitigate traffic congestion to different extents in different network congestion and charging station coverage scenarios. She will also discuss suggestions for improving the service efficiency of CaaS + .

Learning from big and small data for transportation planning and resilience analysis

Virtual Event Hybrid Event

COVID has exacerbated two emerging trends in transportation analysis: (1) the rise of passively-generated big data; and (2) the increasing need to deal with the “unexpected” disruptions. This talk emphasizes the need for learning big and small data for transportation planning and resilience analysis. Different ways of learning are described, with applications ranging from long-term planning analysis to rapid responses under disruptions.
