Connected Cities for Smart Mobility toward Accessible and Resilient Transportation
We will walk through data preparation and processing steps with language modeling tools in Python (e.g., Doc2Vec, Sentence-BERT) for computing text/document similarity and discuss several practical applications of such NLP techniques in transportation related downstream tasks.
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.
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.
Have an idea for a startup, research project, or other academic program?
This information session will walk students and faculty mentors through the different opportunities for funding available through the C2SMART Center’s annual call for proposals.
It's a chance for current students to get to know their peers, for interested students to learn more about the minor, and to address any questions they might have about job/internship opportunities, course requirements, grad school, research, student activities, and more.
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.
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.
We will briefly discuss the history of security analysis of modern automobiles and the need for cybersecurity including typical threats and potential solutions.
This session will give an overview on enterprise grade distributed ledgers, answering the questions on how they work, and when to use them.
Wei and Chenxi will discuss the development and impact of the smart roadside unit, along with a Mobile Unit for Traffic Sensing (MUST) employed for data analysis and for reliable, efficient communication with surrounding vehicles.
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.
Engineers and managers involved in facility/infrastructure operations need situational awareness and accurate assessment of as-is conditions when making daily decisions and developing short- and long-term plans. Currently, however, the situational
