Designing Next-Generation Transportation Systems With Emerging Vehicle Technologies, Zhiwei Chen
USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations
Recent advances in computing and artificial intelligence have enabled the development of various emerging vehicle technologies, e.g., autonomous vehicles (AV) and modular autonomous vehicles (MAV). These technologies bring new scientific and engineering problems challenging transportation researchers and practitioners. This dissertation aims to develop a suite of scalable computational and analytical tools for designing and analyzing next-generation transportation systems with the MAV technologies. Also, we intend to empirically study the system impacts in terms of the quality of service, energy implications, and inequality impacts.
For MAV system design, we develop a methodological framework centering at theoretical properties of the optimal system …
