Human-Centric Traffic Signal Control for Equity: A Multi-Agent Action Branching Deep Reinforcement Learning Approach
Xiaocai Zhang, Neema Nassir, Lok Sang Chan +1
Coordinating traffic signals along multimodal corridors is challenging because many multi-agent deep reinforcement learning (DRL) approaches remain vehicle-centric and struggle wit…
Spatio-temporal dual-stage hypergraph MARL for human-centric multimodal corridor traffic signal control
Xiaocai Zhang, Neema Nassir, Milad Haghani
Human-centric traffic signal control in corridor networks must increasingly account for multimodal travelers, particularly high-occupancy public transportation, rather than focusin…
Revisiting the paper Simulating dynamical features of escape panic: What have we learnt since then?
Milad Haghani, Enrico Ronchi
The paper "Simulating dynamical features of escape panic" by Helbing, Farkas, and Vicsek, published over two decades ago in Nature, has left an indelible mark on the field of crowd…
How crowd accidents are reported in the news media: Lexical and sentiment analysis
Claudio Feliciani, Alessandro Corbetta, Milad Haghani +1
The portrayal of crowd accidents by the media can influence public understanding and emotional response, shaping societal perceptions and potentially impacting safety measures and…
The notion of validity in experimental crowd dynamics
Milad Haghani
As experimental methods become increasingly popular in crowd dynamics, the question of experimental validity becomes more critical than ever. For the purposes of evaluation of crow…
Investigating Exit Choice in Built Environment Evacuation combining Immersive Virtual Reality and Discrete Choice Modelling
R Lovreglio, E Dillies, E Kuligowski +2
In the event of a fire emergency in the built environment, occupants face a range of evacuation decisions, including the choice of exits. An important question from the standpoint…
Calibrating parameters of crowd evacuation simulation at strategic, tactical and operational levels: Which one matters most?
Milad Haghani, Majid Sarvi
Background: Simulating a process of crowd evacuation using an agent-based model requires modellers to specify values of a whole range of parameters each determining certain aspects…
Structure and temporal evolution of transportation literature
Milad Haghani, Michiel C. J. Bliemer
Fifty years of evolution of the transportation field is revisited at a macro scale using scientometric analysis of all publications in all 39 journals indexed in the category of Tr…
Sleeping beauties and temporal evolution of the coronavirus literature
Milad Haghani, Pegah Varamini
Temporal evolution of the coronavirus literature over the last thirty years (N=43,769) is analyzed along with its subdomain of SARS-CoV-2 articles (N=27,460) and the subdomain of r…
Hypothetical bias in stated choice experiments: Part II. Macro-scale analysis of literature and effectiveness of bias mitigation methods
Milad Haghani, Michiel C. J. Bliemer, John M. Rose +2
This paper reviews methods of hypothetical bias (HB) mitigation in choice experiments (CEs). It presents a bibliometric analysis and summary of empirical evidence of their effectiv…
Hypothetical bias in stated choice experiments: Part I. Integrative synthesis of empirical evidence and conceptualisation of external validity
Milad Haghani, Michiel C. J. Bliemer, John M. Rose +2
The notion of hypothetical bias (HB) constitutes, arguably, the most fundamental issue in relation to the use of hypothetical survey methods. Whether or to what extent choices of s…
Applications of brain imaging methods in driving behaviour research
Milad Haghani, Michiel C. J. Bliemer, Bilal Farooq +5
Applications of neuroimaging methods have substantially contributed to the scientific understanding of human factors during driving by providing a deeper insight into the neuro-cog…
Covid-19 pandemic and the unprecedented mobilisation of scholarly efforts prompted by a health crisis: Scientometric comparisons across SARS, MERS and 2019-nCov literature
Milad Haghani, Michiel C. J. Bliemer
During the current century, each major coronavirus outbreak has triggered a quick surge of academic publications on this topic. The spike in research publications following the 201…
