Stochastic Shockwave Dynamics in First-Order Traffic Flow
Yanlin Zhang, Alireza Talebpour
Moving congestion fronts vary across realizations even when the traffic-flow law is fixed. This paper develops a generator-based formulation of the Lighthill--Whitham--Richards (LW…
Hierarchical Pod Routing for Modular Transit Systems
Tina Radvand, Alireza Talebpour, Yanfeng Ouyang
Modular bus systems allow fixed-route transit services to better match vehicle capacity to passenger loads. Operating modular bus systems requires deciding how pods are assigned to…
A Quantum Optimization Algorithm for Optimal Electric Vehicle Charging Station Placement for Intercity Trips
Tina Radvand, Alireza Talebpour, Homa Khosravian
Electric vehicles (EVs) play a significant role in enhancing the sustainability of transportation systems. However, their widespread adoption is hindered by inadequate public charg…
Bridging the gap between micro-economics and micro-mobility: a two-dimensional risk-based microscopic model of pedestrians' and bicyclists' operational behaviors
Mohaiminul Haque, Samer Hamdar, Alireza Talebpour
Due to the inherent safety concerns associated with traffic movement in unconstrained two-dimensional settings, it is important that pedestrians' and other modes' movements such as…
