Strategic Interactions of Future Mobility Systems

Mobility is typically self-optimized for a particular region to accommodate internal travel needs. However, as soon as one considers multiple, interacting regions (e.g., urban areas interacting with agglomerations, and agglomerations interacting with rural areas), important coordination issues occur, including scheduling mismatches, fleet allocations, and congestion peaks. In short, a mobility system composed of self-optimized mobility systems seems to often operate suboptimally. In this project, we will investigate the idea of strategic interactions of future mobility stakeholders across heterogeneous regions, such as urban areas, agglomerations, and rural areas, leveraging techniques from network design, optimization, game theory, and policy making.

Submodular optimization for scenario sampling in autonomous vehicles safety testing

A key barrier hindering the swift introduction of autonomous vehicles (AVs) in real-world contexts is the challenge in establishing clear safety benchmarks. Specifically, the issue of systematically assessing both performance and safety remains a significant stumbling block within the industry. This challenge is mainly twofold: Firstly, how can we identify an ideal scenario set to evaluate the vehicle's performance within a targeted Operational Design Domain (ODD) and what criteria would be useful in amplifying or paring down this set? Secondly, how do we determine a substantial stopping criteria for the evaluation campaign, and what level of confidence should be attached to the observed performances?
