Research Highlights
Understanding Human-centered AI through Data Integration and Analytics
David Yang
Human Centered Artificial Intelligence (HCAI) is an approach to developing and implementing Artificial Intelligence technology applications that focuses on the needs of individuals and communities who utilize these applications. This project intends to develop course modules and tools for students to understand human-centered AI methods and data requirements, conduct specific mobility analysis using AI-empowered technologies, and build multimodal technology solutions to improve mobility. The ...

Modeling and Analyzing the Impact of Advanced Technologies on Livability and Multimodal Transportation Performance Measures in Arterial Corridors
Miguel Andres Figliozzi
Transportation corridors are complex systems. Tradeoffs, particularly in terms of traffic mobility, transit performance, accessibility and pedestrian interactions, are not well understood. When the focus is on motorized vehicle mobility and throughput, high traffic or vehicle speeds are desirable because at high speeds more vehicles can flow per unit of time and roadway section. However, high traffic/vehicles speeds are not desirable for pedestrians who have to cross urban arterials. In parti...
