Development, Modeling and Assessment of Connected Automated Vehicle Applications

The transportation system has evolved into a complex Cyber Physical System (CPS) with the introduction of wireless communication and the emergence of connected travelers and Connected Automated Vehicles (CAVs). The talk will discuss the challenges associated with multi-modal transportation system optimization and modeling, large-scale integrated modeling of the transportation and communication systems, some research in the area of multi-objective CAV optimization, some research in CAV-enabled traffic signal control, and the modeling and optimization of battery electric vehicles and hybrid electric vehicles.
