Future Transportation

Future transportation research centers on developing sustainable, efficient, and safe mobility solutions, primarily focusing on optimizing existing systems and integrating new technologies. Current efforts leverage machine learning, particularly reinforcement learning and its multi-agent variants, along with agent-based modeling and data fusion techniques, to improve traffic management, predict travel patterns, and enhance the performance of electric and hybrid vehicles, including autonomous and air mobility systems. These advancements aim to reduce congestion, emissions, and travel times, while improving safety and fostering more sustainable urban environments. The resulting models and algorithms have significant implications for urban planning, transportation policy, and the development of intelligent transportation systems.
