SUMMARY:Learning and Control for Safety\, Efficiency\, and Resiliency of Embodied AI Seminar
DESCRIPTION:With rapid evolution of sensing\, communication\,and computation\, integrating learning and control presents significant Embodied AI opportunities. However\, current decision-making frameworks lack comprehensive understanding of the tridirectional relationship among communication\, learningand control\, posing challenges for multi-agent systems in complex environments. In the first part of the talk\, we focus on learning and control with communication capabilities. \nIn the second part of the talk\, we briefly outline our research contributions on robust MARL and data-driven robust optimization for sustainable mobility. We also highlight our research results concerning CPS security. Through our findings\, we aim to advance Embodied AI and CPS for safety\, efficiency\, and resiliency in dynamic environments. \n\nFei Miao\, Ph.D. is Pratt & Whitney Associate Professor of the School of Computing\, a Courtesy Faculty of the Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering\, University of Connecticut.

SUMMARY:PacTrans Seminar Series: What is the Level of Volatility in Instantaneous Driving Decisions?
DESCRIPTION:Organized by The Pacific Northwest Transportation Consortium (PacTrans) \nSpeaker: Dr. Asad J. Khattak \nDr. Asad J. Khattak is Beaman Professor of Civil & Environmental Engineering and Director of Safety Programs-Center for Transportation Research at University of Tennessee\, Knoxville\, where he teaches and conducts research in transportation. Dr. Khattak’s research focuses on various types of innovations related to 1) intelligent transportation systems\, 2) transportation safety\, and 3) sustainable transportation. During 2006-2013\, he was Frank Batten endowed chair Professor of Civil Engineering at Old Dominion University where he developed and directed ODU’s transportation research initiatives and educational programs. Dr. Khattak is: 1) Editor of Science Citation Indexed Journal of Intelligent Transportation Systems\, 2) Associate Editor of SCI-indexed International Journal of Sustainable Transportation\, and 3) Editorial Advisory Board Member of Transportation Research\, Part C\, and Analytic Methods in Accident Research. \nAbstract:  \nInstantaneous driving decisions are part of incessant human behavior during driving\, strongly affecting safety outcomes\, energy consumption and tailpipe emissions. To accommodate changes in surrounding\nenvironment\, drivers make instantaneous decisions\, such as maintaining speed\, accelerating\, braking\, maintaining acceleration or deceleration\, or increasing the rate of acceleration or deceleration (referred to as jerk\, which is the decision to change the marginal rate of acceleration and deceleration). These instantaneous decisions and their combinations result in driving volatility. This paper develops a framework for understanding instantaneous decisions and explores volatility in such decisions with the aim of developing a fundamental understanding of instantaneous decisions. Empirical analysis is based on a large scale (big-data) travel behavior survey database\, with 51\,337 trips and their associated second-by-second\n(total 33 million seconds) Global Positioning System (GPS) data collected in 2011 in Atlanta\, GA. Various measures are used to quantify volatility in instantaneous driving decisions and exploring correlates of volatility in the Atlanta metropolitan area. Statistical analysis revealed that volatility in instantaneous decisions varies significantly between groups of drivers based on gender\, age\, trips of varying lengths\, and peak hours. The implications of the findings are discussed. \nPacTrans_Seminar_Asad_Khattak_Nov 13 2013

SUMMARY:PacTrans Seminar Series: Sustainable Mobility\, Place-making\, and Economic Competitiveness - Striking a Balance
DESCRIPTION:Organized by The Pacific Northwest Transportation Consortium (PacTrans)\nSpeaker:  Dr. Robert Cervero\, Carmel P. Friesen Chair of Urban Studies and Professor of City and Regional Planning at the University of California\, Berkeley and Director of the Institute of Urban and Regional Development (IURD) and Director of the University of California Transportation Center (UCTC) \nAbstract:  \nTransport infrastructure is critical to the competitiveness of cities and regions in the global marketplace. With knowledge- and service-based industries driving economic growth in many sectors of the modern economy\, creating functional yet highly livable and socially vibrant and inclusive cities is essential to global competitiveness and economic well-being. This lecture addresses the challenges of striking an appropriate balance between transport infrastructure as an economic conduit and broader place-making and community-building objectives\, drawing lessons from Asian\, European\, and American contexts. Emphasis is given to striking a balance between building transportation infrastructure for mobility purposes and advancing sustainable urbanism as an economic development strategy. Specific case contexts include freeway-to-boulevard conversions\, new-towns/in-town\, green transit-oriented development\, edge-city retrofits\, and pedestrian-friendly bus rapid transit and high-speed rail systems. Suggestions on how to best strike a balance between planning for mobility and livability will be given. \nPacTrans_Spring2013Seminar_Robert Cervero_April 19_2013

SUMMARY:PacTrans Seminar: Electric Vehicles and Life Cycle Assessment
DESCRIPTION:Jointly Organized by PacTrans and the Dept. of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the UW\n Speaker: Dr. Chris T. Hendrickson\, Duquesne Light Campany University Professor of Engineering and Co-Director of the Green Design Institute at Carnegie Mellon University \nAbstract: With an increasing number of states mandating the sale of zero emissions vehicles\, manufacturers are responding in part by developing electric or battery hybrid vehicles. While widespread use of electric vehicles has the potential to reduce tailpipe emissions\, the full environmental cost of producing and operating battery powered vehicles must be considered. This talk discusses the potential environmental impacts of battery powered motor vehicles\, including earlier lead acid battery versions and new battery chemistries. Barries to widespread adoption are also discussed. \nPacTrans_Feb. 27 2013 Seminar (Details)

SUMMARY:PacTrans Seminar Series: Discrete Choice Analysis for Travelers: A Semi-parametric Approach
DESCRIPTION:Professor Baibing Li from Loughborough University of UK will visit the University of Washington and deliver a seminar talk on campus. You are cordially invited to join his seminar. \nDiscrete choice modelling is a widely used econometric approach to analyse the behaviour of travellers. The multinomial logit model is one of the most commonly used models in discrete choice analysis. This research develops a new model\, semi-parametric multinomial logit model. The developed model links travellers’ attributes and alternatives to the choice probabilities via a sensitivity function. This sensitivity function reflects the degree of travellers’ sensitivity to the changes in the travelling costs. A Bayesian approach is investigated to draw statistical inference for the semi-parametric logit model. An empirical study on travellers’ value of time that involves stated preferences about two train-related alternatives and two bus-related alternatives is conducted to illustrate the developed model. \nShort Bio of Professor Li:\nBaibing Li is a professor in business statistics & management science at Loughborough University\, U.K. He received the Ph.D. degree from the Management School\, Shanghai Jiao Tong University\, Shanghai\, China. He was a Postdoctoral Research Fellow with Katholieke Universiteit Leuven\, Leuven\, Belgium\, and a Research Associate with Newcastle University\, Newcastle upon Tyne\, U.K. In 2001\, he was appointed as a Lecturer in statistics at School of Mathematics & Statistics\, Newcastle University. In 2004\, he moved to the School of Business and Economics\, Loughborough University\, Loughborough\, U.K.\, as a Lecturer\, where he was subsequently appointed as a Reader and a Professor. His current research interests are Bayesian statistical modelling and forecasting for Gaussian and non-Gaussian dynamic problems in various management areas. In recent years\, much of his work has also involved transport and traffic management such as transportation demand analysis\, travel behaviour modelling\, and intelligent transportation systems. Professor Li is a member of the Royal Statistical Society.

SUMMARY:PacTrans Seminar Series: Calibration of Micro-Simulation Models Using ITS Data: Lessons Learned
DESCRIPTION:View the PDF here \nIn order for a traffic micro-simulation model to be effective\, it must be able to replicate both supply and demand characteristics\, as well as their interaction. That is\, the simulation model must be properly calibrated. The recent widespread deployment of ITS in North America has provided an opportunity to obtain significant amounts of traffic related data on a point\, link\, and trip basis. In addition\, there has been a corresponding increase in the quality and quantity of micro-simulation models that can be used to model transportation systems. A methodology for calibrating traffic micro-simulation models so that the simulation results\, such as travel time\, represent the observed distributions obtained from the field will be presented. The focus of the talk will be on lessons learned from various calibration-related research projects over the past ten years. The seminar will conclude with a discussion of current and future research initiatives in this area.
