Dynamic multi-agent deep reinforcement learning-based pricing and incentivization approach in multimodal transportation networks
Khadidja Kadem, Mostafa Ameli, Carlos Lima Azevedo +2
In multimodal transportation systems, shared mobility services (SMSs) are promoted for their potential to enhance flexibility and reduce congestion. However, SMS demand is often co…
A Resilience-as-a-Service assessment framework for coordinated disruption response in interdependent urban transit systems
Sara Jaber, S. M. Hassan Mahdavi, Neila Bhouri +1
Urban public transport disruptions require rapid response strategies, yet existing studies rarely provide a decision support framework to compare alternative disruption response so…
Designing, simulating, and performing the 100-AV field test for the CIRCLES consortium: Methodology and Implementation of the Largest mobile traffic control experiment to date
Mostafa Ameli, Sean Mcquade, Jonathan W. Lee +20
Previous controlled experiments on single-lane ring roads have shown that a single partially autonomous vehicle (AV) can effectively mitigate traffic waves. This naturally prompts…
Departure Time Choice Models in Urban Transportation Systems Based on Mean Field Games
Mostafa Ameli, Mohamad Sadegh Shirani Faradonbeh, Jean-Patrick Lebacque +2
Departure time choice models play a crucial role in determining the traffic load in transportation systems. This paper introduces a new framework to model and analyze the departure…
A methodological framework for Resilience as a Service (RaaS) in multimodal urban transportation networks
Sara Jaber, Mostafa Ameli, S. M. Hassan Mahdavi +1
Public transportation systems are experiencing an increase in commuter traffic. This increase underscores the need for resilience strategies to manage unexpected service disruption…
Traffic Control via Connected and Automated Vehicles: An Open-Road Field Experiment with 100 CAVs
Jonathan W. Lee, Han Wang, Kathy Jang +61
The CIRCLES project aims to reduce instabilities in traffic flow, which are naturally occurring phenomena due to human driving behavior. These "phantom jams" or "stop-and-go waves,…
Dynamic System Optimum: A Projection-based Framework for Macroscopic Traffic Models
Mostafa Ameli, Sergio F. A. Batista, Jean-Patrick Lebacque +1
This paper proposes the theoretical grounds for emulating the Dynamic System Optimum with desired arrival times on regional networks, using aggregated traffic dynamics based on the…
Flow-Through Tensors: A Unified Computational Graph Architecture for Multi-Layer Transportation Network Optimization
Xuesong Zhou, Taehooie Kim, Mostafa Ameli +3
Modern transportation network modeling increasingly involves the integration of diverse methodologies including sensor-based forecasting, reinforcement learning, classical flow opt…
From Optimization to Prediction: Transformer-Based Path-Flow Estimation to the Traffic Assignment Problem
Mostafa Ameli, Sulthana Shams, Van Anh Le +1
The traffic assignment problem is essential for traffic flow analysis, traditionally solved using mathematical programs under the Equilibrium principle. These methods become comput…
Collective Departure Time Allocation in Large-scale Urban Networks: A Flexible Modeling Framework with Trip Length and Desired Arrival Time Distributions
Mostafa Ameli, Jean-Patrick Lebacque, Negin Alisoltani +1
Urban traffic congestion remains a persistent issue for cities worldwide. Recent macroscopic models have adopted a mathematically well-defined relation between network flow and den…
Measuring the State of Open Science in Transportation Using Large Language Models
Junyi Ji, Ruth Lu, Linda Belkessa +8
Open science initiatives have strengthened scientific integrity and accelerated research progress across many fields, but the state of their practice within transportation research…
Multimodal urban transportation network equilibrium including intermodality and shared mobility services
Khadidja Kadem, Mostafa Ameli, Mahdi Zargayouna +1
Shared Mobility Services (SMSs) are transforming urban transportation systems by offering flexible travel options. These services, which help reduce the number of cars on the roads…
