Equity in Transportation Research

Virtual 6 MetroTech Center, Brooklyn, NY, United States

As C2SMART heads into its sixth year of projects, we are reshaping our RFP process to solicit a project slate which will be bigger and bolder than ever before. We are looking for projects which showcase possibility, addresses complex challenges, broadens collaboration, and directly strengthens the transportation field. Across and underlying each of these themes, however, will be an emphasis on transportation equity. Each proposal will, in some form, need to be prepared to discuss how the project will directly address equity concerns, or else include an equity performance measure of some kind.

Roadmap to Cooperative & Automated Transportation

Virtual 6 MetroTech Center, Brooklyn, NY, United States

To realize the full potential of AVs, Dr. Li proposes a roadmap of cooperative & automated transportation, from optimal trajectory control in ideal conditions through a cooperative control framework incorporating edge computing and machine learning under real-world constraints.

Building a Decision Support Tool for Optimal & Equitable Distribution of EV Charging Stations in NYC

Virtual 6 MetroTech Center, Brooklyn, NY, United States

Researchers led by Professor Yury Dvorkin, NYU Tandon, and Professor Burçin Ünel, Energy Policy Director at the Institute for Policy Integrity at NYU School of Law, will update on their research so far, seeking input from primary stakeholders to understand the technological gaps that prevents widespread expansion of EV charging infrastructure and to encourage their continued participation in this research to drive practically feasible and ethical research outcomes.

Cycle Speak with Laura Fox: Citi Bike & Urban Mobility

Virtual 6 MetroTech Center, Brooklyn, NY, United States

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.

State-of-the-Field: Application of Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) and Weigh-In-Motion (WIM) Sensors For Infrastructure Assessment and Resiliency

Virtual 6 MetroTech Center, Brooklyn, NY, United States

Weigh-In-Motion (WIM) provides an efficient way to estimate the static weight of a vehicle by measuring the dynamic tire force of a moving vehicle. Recently, emphasis has been placed on coupling these two complementary technologies in infrastructure evaluation and resiliency: SHM provides structural response or resistance while WIM provides actual loading conditions and future load prediction that enables determination of infrastructure capacity, resulting in the operating service loads needed for developing statistical live load models for use at the strength and service limit states.

Forensic Analysis of Vehicular Malfunctions Using On-Board Data

370 Jay Street, Room 825 370 Jay Street, Room 1201, New York City, NY, United States

This event explores forensic analysis and recording of vehicle dynamic performance tests and investigations. To accomplish these tests and investigations, researchers developed forensically accurate and reliable test monitoring and recording instruments. Because the tests were usually sequential and interactive between the vehicle operator and the particular exemplar vehicle, those instruments have to allow for real time graphical readouts and displays of parameters from both vehicle data networks and from instrumentation data networks.

Performance Measurement from the New York City Connected Vehicle Pilot

Virtual 6 MetroTech Center, Brooklyn, NY, United States

The NYC CV Pilot has deployed over 450 roadside units and 3,000 aftermarket safety devices in vehicles running 13 vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-infrastructure applications focused on safety. The webinar will provide an overview of the performance evaluation of the deployed CV applications in NYC’s urban canyon environment. The webinar will also cover NYC’s plans for the next phase of the project after completion of the CV Pilot’s Phase III operations.

The increasing popularity of smart cities and recent developments in sensing, edge computing and vehicle technologies and the availability of “big data” combined with sophisticated AI techniques offer an opportunity

Lane Changing of Autonomous Vehicles in Mixed Traffic Environments: A Reinforcement Learning Approach

Virtual Event Virtual Event

The emergence of connected and autonomous vehicles (CAVs) presents increased opportunities to mitigate traffic congestion, improve safety and reduce accidents. Professor Zhong-Ping Jiang, and researchers Leilei Cui and Sayan Chakraborty are applying innovative reinforcement learning control methods to one challenging aspect of CAV control: lane changing in mixed traffic. The team takes a novel approach by reducing the trajectory planning and tracking problem down to the minimization of a cost function that depends on a target way-point in the lane a CAV is targeting.
