The purpose of this doctoral study is to advance the state of the art of the simulation and modeling of transportation systems by addressing some of the limitations of state-of-the-practice models such as the inability to deal with large amounts of data in real-time, the aggregate nature of the majority of models, the lack of network realism in driving simulation and human behavior realism in traffic simulation, and finally the inability to evaluate new and emerging Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) applications. Within this broader research area, the work is divided into five tightly-connected research sub-topics. Subtopic 1 aims at developing and validating a novel forecasting paradigm named SPN to forecast traffic data, so as to provide an efficient and effective way for online traffic simulation and modeling. The SPN provides higher predictive accuracy and requires dramatically less processing time compared with existing approaches.^Subtopic 2 develops a large-scale agent-based simulation model and validates it. The research demonstrates the feasibility of regional agent-based simulations while depending upon data readily available. Subtopic 3 proposes a semi-heuristic algorithm for estimating dynamic travel demand for large-scale simulation models. The algorithm manages to match the simulated traffic volumes to field counts while keeping the estimated Origin-Destination (OD) matrices close to the true ones. Subtopic 4 integrates a traffic simulator with a driving simulator to allow for human-in-the-loop simulation. The integrated simulator successfully shows differences in emissions levels among drivers with different years of driving experience. Finally, Subtopic 5 designs and implements an integrated IntelliDrive simulation testbed, and uses this testbed for the simulation and evaluation of an application named intelligent intersection.^The research demonstrates the mobility enhancement and environmental benefits of the application, as well as the advantages of using the testbed to design and evaluate IntelliDrive applications. The aforementioned contributions of this dissertation advance the state of the art in transportation simulation and modeling, broaden the range of transportation issues for which those models and tools can be used to address, and create a vision for a human-oriented, integrated, and intelligent next-generation simulation and modeling system.

The collapse of the Interstate 35W Highway Bridge over the Mississippi River in Minneapolis resulted in unexpected loss of life and had serious consequences on mobility and accessibility in the Twin Cities metropolitan area. In response to the network disruption caused by the bridge collapse, a number of traffic restoration projects were proposed and implemented by MnDOT in a very short order. Selection and prioritization of these projects, however, was mainly based on engineering judgment and experience. The only decision-support tool available to traffic engineers was the regional transportation planning model, which is static in nature and decennial. Although such a model is suitable for the evaluation of long-term (in the order of 5 years or longer) transportation investments, it is not appropriate or adequate for short-term (within days or weeks) operational planning in response to a disaster or other emergencies. This was the driving force behind the creation of a comprehensive model of the Twin Cities freeway and major highway system that can support higher levels of traffic simulation resolution. Phase 1, described in this report, of the development of the Twin Cities metro-wide freeway microscopic model covered the importation of the roadway geometry into a microscopic simulator, generation of demand information for the entire model as well as for the calibration of as many as possible individual segments. In total, 1,199 directional kilometers of freeway mainline where included in the model. Including ramps and major highways, the number rises to 2,492 directional kilometers. The demand in the model is generated from 859 zones extracted from the regional planning model.

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 design under two system settings: i) shuttle systems consisting of one origin and one destination, ii) corridor systems where vehicles travel along a set of stations. We mathematically prove a series of elegant properties of system design variables when the system optimum is reached. These properties are then used to decompose the spatiotemporal correlation between the system design variables, which allows us to formulate the system design into separable continuum approximation models. Also, these properties are used to derive valid inequalities that can dramatically reduce the solution space of the system design problem. As a result, they can be applied to solve discrete formulations of the problem to expedite the search for the exact optimal design. Extensive numerical studies are conducted to evaluate the computation performance of the proposed solution methods. Results indicate that discrete models expedited by the theoretical properties find optimal system design more quickly. The continuous models, instead, offer highly accurate near-optimal design in less than one second. These two methods complement each other in terms of the solution accuracy and computation time. With the methodological framework, we also conduct extensive experiments to assess the impacts of the MAV technologies on system performance. We compare the energy cost for vehicle operations, the passenger waiting cost, and the total system cost between the proposed MAV transportation system and a benchmark system where fixed capacity vehicles are operated. Results reveal that by dynamically adjusting the vehicle capacity to accommodate the passenger demand, MAVs consistently decrease the energy cost of shuttle systems and corridor systems in a range of parameter settings. Meanwhile, the passenger waiting cost are reduced or remain at least the same as the fixed capacity operation in most cases. In a few cases the passenger waiting cost is slightly increased. However, the slight increase in the passenger waiting cost is compensated by the large reduction in the energy cost, resulting in a decrease in the total system cost. Thus, MAVs increase the energy efficiency and quality of services in the majority of system settings. Finally, as the first step to investigate the potential equity impacts of the MAV technologies, we develop an analysis framework for quantifying the inequality impacts of AVs. The framework is built on a state-of-the-art multi-agent transportation simulator, MATSim, by incorporating the influence of individual demographics on travel decisions and private AVs. The simulation model generates individual-level daily travel itineraries that can be used to analyze benefits / costs of AVs. We apply the framework to analyze the inequality impacts of AV systems in the Tampa Bay Region in the 2040 planning scenario. Results reveal the capability of the proposed methodological framework in analyzing the inequality impacts of AV systems. Further, an AV system with private AVs and low market penetration rates may not improve the performance of a transportation system as expected due to the additional empty vehicle trips induced by AV operations. However, it leads to a more even outcome distribution between homogeneous individuals and among the geographic space in the Tampa Bay Region. It may not change the disparity direction of the transportation outcome distributions between different population subgroups but will affect the magnitude of the disparity. Whether the disparity between groups will be widened or bridged depends on the specific outcomes and the groups being analyzed. Overall, this dissertation offers scalable numerical and analytical tools for designing and analyzing MAV transportation systems. These models and algorithms can be used as benchmarks for researchers to evaluate the performance of their methods in future studies. They can also be used by transportation practitioners to design and analyze MAV transportation systems when the technology is mature. Further, findings from the extensive empirical case studies add to the body of knowledge of system properties of MAV transportation systems and their impacts to society including the level of service, energy implications, and inequality impacts. These results will offer managerial insights for future transportation planners and operators.

This open access book is the first to systematically introduce the principles of urban informatics and its application to every aspect of the city that involves its functioning, control, management, and future planning. It introduces new models and tools being developed to understand and implement these technologies that enable cities to function more efficiently – to become ‘smart’ and ‘sustainable’. The smart city has quickly emerged as computers have become ever smaller to the point where they can be embedded into the very fabric of the city, as well as being central to new ways in which the population can communicate and act. When cities are wired in this way, they have the potential to become sentient and responsive, generating massive streams of ‘big’ data in real time as well as providing immense opportunities for extracting new forms of urban data through crowdsourcing. This book offers a comprehensive review of the methods that form the core of urban informatics from various kinds of urban remote sensing to new approaches to machine learning and statistical modelling. It provides a detailed technical introduction to the wide array of tools information scientists need to develop the key urban analytics that are fundamental to learning about the smart city, and it outlines ways in which these tools can be used to inform design and policy so that cities can become more efficient with a greater concern for environment and equity.

The collapse of the Interstate 35W Bridge over the Mississippi River in Minneapolis resulted in unexpected loss of life and had serious consequences on mobility and accessibility in the Twin Cities metropolitan area. In response to the network disruption caused by the bridge collapse, a number of traffic restoration projects were proposed and rapidly implemented by MnDOT. Selection and prioritization of these projects, however, was based mainly on engineering judgment and experience. The only decision-support tool available to traffic engineers was the regional transportation planning model, which is static in nature and decennial. In this work, the Twin Cities metropolitan area is simulated using a mesoscopic traffic simulator in the AIMSUN software. After establishing the mesoscopic simulation model, we attempt to utilize the calibrated mesoscopic simulation model to evaluate drivers perceived cost evolution to explain the traffic dynamics on the Twin Cities road network after the unexpected collapse of the I-35W Bridge over the Mississippi River. Given the observation of largely underutilized sections of network, it is proposed that the tragedy generated a perceived travel cost to discourage commuters from using these sections. Applying a mesoscopic simulation model provided by AIMSUN, the perceived costs on cordon lines after the I-35W Bridge collapse were suggested to be best described as an exponential decay cost curve. The proposed model is applicable to both practitioners and researchers in traffic related fields by providing an understanding of how traffic dynamics will evolve after a long-term, unexpected network disruption.
