drones

This project will expand on prior work in truck-drone routing to develop optimization models and algorithms to allow with en-route meet points.

This project will develop a data-driven, simulation-based framework using high-resolution drone trajectory data to analyze human merging dynamics and model congestion formation at freeway bottlenecks. This project will integrate a probabilistic congestion-onset model into a microscopic traffic simulation platform, providing transportation agencies with a practical tool to evaluate operational strategies and manage mixed-traffic systems.
