UFTI Faculty Leads ASCE Artificial Intelligence Task Committee
|
|
This committee will serve as a forum for ideas and knowledge exchange among researchers, engineers, and operators from academia, industry, and government with interests in developing and promoting Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies and their applications in transportation. Additionally, the committee will serve as a platform for consolidating on-going efforts in academia, industry, and government to form a collective voice and make significant impacts on the development of AI in transportation from the perspectives of both scientific and technological innovations. Finally, it will serve as a connector for bridging strengths in academia, industry, and government to promote AI technology transformation, regulation development, and deployment in transportation.
If you are interested in joining the committee please contact Dr. Du at
lilidu@ufl.edu.

STRIDE Webinar:
Technology Influence on Travel Demand and Behaviors
May 13: 12:00 PM Eastern
The rapid technological developments in the 21st century created new opportunities for shared-use economy applications in the US and around the globe. In recent years, many large- and medium-sized city markets have experienced increases in the availability and popularity of Transportation Network Companies (TNCs), for-hire vehicles, and on-demand services such as UberX and Lyft. However, it is still not clear how availability of smartphone-based traveler information services influence travel choices and what are the impacts from mode choice changes on transportation network operations. This seminar presents findings from a study that investigated the influence of ride-sourcing on transportation users’ choices and behaviors in the Birmingham, AL region. The study a) documented Birmingham metro transportation users’ attitudes, choices, and behavioral trends and b) examined the feasibility of using agent-based simulation modeling to quantify the impacts of mode choice shift due to ride-sourcing on local and regional congestion. The seminar introduces the study methodology, presents findings and conclusions, and discusses next steps.
Webinar Presenter:

STRIDE Webinar: Fly-By Image Processing for Real Time Congestion Mitigation
June 3: 12:00 PM Eastern
The fly-by system consists of a “flock” of interconnected, self-managed drones equipped with lightweight navigation, and perching mechanism allows the drone to record videos from fixed points. Image processing techniques are used to detect traffic parameters from the recorded videos. On the other hand, Traffic simulations models will be utilized to develop the database necessary in developing and training the Traffic Model-Based Image Processing (T-MBIP) algorithm. These simulations are focused on traffic congestions. Once the traffic parameters are detected it will be compared with the congestion case to obtain if the congestion is approached or not.
Webinar Presenters:
- Dr. Nasim Uddin, University of Alabama at Birmingham
- Dr. Yahya Mohammed, University of Alabama at Birmingham
