Modeling Pedestrian Tactical and Operational Decisions Under Risk and Uncertainty: A Two-Layer Model Framework

Pedestrian tactical choices and operational movement in evacuations essentially pertain to decision-making under risk and uncertainty. However, in microscopic evacuation models, this attribute has been greatly overlooked, even lacking a methodology to delineate the related decision characteristics (bounded rationality and risk attitudes), let...

An Integrated Framework for Incorporating Climate Risk into Urban Land-Use Change Modeling

Cities are complex socio-technical systems (STSs) under tremendous stress due to climate change. To incorporate resilience into urban plans and move towards evidence-based long-term decision-making, we must unravel complex land-use dynamics and the effect of climate uncertainties on cities. Currently, land-use dynamics are explored through...

Cyclic communication in adaptive strategies to platooning: the case of synchronized merging

Recently proposed adaptive platooning strategies for connected automated vehicles are able to cope with uncertain vehicle parameters (uncertain driveline time constants), but can handle only acyclic graphs like look-ahead graphs. This prevents from enhancing platooning protocols with synchronized merging maneuvers, where cyclic communication...
