Using Drift Diffusion Model to Analyze Cars' Lane Change Decisions behind Heavy Vehicles
Nachuan Li, Hani S. Mahmassani, Soyoung Ahn +1
Heavy vehicles (HVs) pose a significant challenge to maintaining a smooth traffic flow on the freeway because they are slower moving and create large blind spots. It is therefore d…
Semi-on-Demand Transit Feeders with Shared Autonomous Vehicles and Reinforcement-Learning-Based Zonal Dispatching Control
Max T. M. Ng, Roman Engelhardt, Florian Dandl +2
This paper develops a semi-on-demand transit feeder service using shared autonomous vehicles (SAVs) and zonal dispatching control based on reinforcement learning (RL). This service…
Can the Waymo Open Motion Dataset Support Realistic Behavioral Modeling? A Validation Study with Naturalistic Trajectories
Yanlin Zhang, Sungyong Chung, Nachuan Li +4
The Waymo Open Motion Dataset (WOMD) has become a popular resource for data-driven modeling of autonomous vehicles (AVs) behavior. However, its validity for behavioral analysis rem…
Equity Impacts of Public Transit Network Redesign with Shared Autonomous Mobility Services
Max T. M. Ng, Meredith Raymer, Hani S. Mahmassani +2
This study examines the equity impacts of integrating shared autonomous mobility services (SAMS) into transit system redesign. Using the Greater Chicago area as a case study, we co…
