Podium Session 1: An Autonomous Modular Public Transit Service
Title: An Autonomous Modular Public Transit Service
Authors: Xi Cheng, Yu (Marco) Nie, Jane Lin
Abstract: In this work, we present a proof-of-concept investigation of Autonomous Modular Public Transit (AMPT) at a network scale and compare it with the traditional fixed-route, fixed-vehicle size transit service in terms of total cost, which consists of both agency’s capital and operational cost (including energy cost) and passenger time cost. We formulat...

Podium Session 6: A Day-to-Day Dynamical Approach to the Most Likely User Equilibrium Problem
Title: A Day-to-Day Dynamical Approach to the Most Likely User Equilibrium Problem
Authors: Jiayang Li, Qianni Wang, Liyang Feng, Jun Xie, Yu (Marco) Nie
Abstract: The lack of a unique user equilibrium (UE) route flow in traffic assignment has posed a significant challenge to many transportation applications. The maximum-entropy principle, which advocates for the consistent selection of the most likely solution, is often used to address the challenge. Built on a recently proposed day-to-day (DTD) discrete-tim...
