In this paper, we propose an enhanced human-in-the-loop reinforcement learning method, termed the Human as AI mentor-based deep reinforcement learning (HAIM-DRL) framework, which facilitates safe and efficient autonomous driving in mixed traffic platoon. Drawing inspiration from the human learning process, we first introduce an innovative learning paradigm that effectively injects human intelligence into AI, termed Human as AI mentor (HAIM). In this paradigm, the human expert serves as a mentor to the AI agent. While allowing the agent to sufficiently explore uncertain environments, the human expert can take control in dangerous situations and demonstrate correct actions to avoid potential accidents. On the other hand, the agent could be guided to minimize traffic flow disturbance, thereby optimizing traffic flow efficiency. In detail, HAIM-DRL leverages data collected from free exploration and partial human demonstrations as its two training sources. Remarkably, we circumvent the intricate process of manually designing reward functions; instead, we directly derive proxy state-action values from partial human demonstrations to guide the agents’ policy learning. Additionally, we employ a minimal intervention technique to reduce the human mentor’s cognitive load. Comparative results show that HAIM-DRL outperforms traditional methods in driving safety, sampling efficiency, mitigation of traffic flow disturbance, and generalizability to unseen traffic scenarios.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100292,"journal":{"name":"Communications in Transportation Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2772424724000106/pdfft?md5=926541f5937b5ee27465791694dbead5&pid=1-s2.0-S2772424724000106-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140894092","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The analysis is based on data collected from 1,051 users in four Indonesian cities. In this study, a latent class cluster analysis (LCCA) was used which identified four distinct classes of TSA level of adoption: Over Enthusiast (OE) (42%) comprising users who extensively explore and utilise the functions of the apps; Exploring but has Disinterest (ED) (36%) comprising those who primarily use apps for popular functions such as transportation, shopping, and payment services, but lack interest in utilising other services; Shopping-oriented but has Broad Interest (SBI) (14%) comprising those who heavily use shopping services while displaying a high interest in other functions; and Minimalist and Unaware (MU) (8%) comprising those who utilises the core functions of TSA for transportation and shopping while exhibiting low awareness of other available functions within the apps. The study found that transportation and shopping services have the highest level of adoption compared to other TSAs’ functions. The findings also suggest that the behaviour surrounding TSA utilization may evolve in the future and adoption levels are influenced by hedonic and utilitarian motivations. The OE users are associated with authority/control and tend to be more disorganised. Whereas SBI users tend to be more creative and open to new experiences. Compared to other classes, OE users are mostly found in Jakarta, a megapolitan area, and primarily reside near activity centres.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100292,"journal":{"name":"Communications in Transportation Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2772424724000088/pdfft?md5=c1f83eb51b493f02e8fc4375e3b5c3cc&pid=1-s2.0-S2772424724000088-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140813372","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Many experiment-based studies have shown that the Nash equilibrium can predict aggregated route choices, while the fluctuations, whose mechanisms are still unclear, continue to exist until the end. To understand the fluctuations, this paper proposes a route-dependent attraction-based stochastic process model, which shares exactly the same behavioral foundation introduced in Part I of the study (Qi et al., 2023), i.e., route-dependent inertia and route-dependent preference. The model predictions are carefully compared with the experimental observations obtained from the congestible parallel-route laboratory experiments containing 312 subjects and eight decision-making scenarios (Qi et al., 2023). The results show that the proposed stochastic process model can precisely reproduce the random oscillations both in terms of flow switching and route flow evolution. Subsequently, an approximated model is developed to enhance the efficiency in evaluating the equilibrium distribution, providing a practical tool to evaluate the impacts of transportation policies in both long- and short-term runs. To the best of our knowledge, this paper is the first attempt to model and explain experimental phenomena by introducing stochastic process theories, as well as a successful example of applying experimental economics methodology to improve our understanding of human travel choice behavior.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100292,"journal":{"name":"Communications in Transportation Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2772424724000064/pdfft?md5=4f9c6148c7bdc4a204b4ccc329e867f3&pid=1-s2.0-S2772424724000064-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140641111","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Travel delays caused by traffic crashes are quantified according to the difference between the post-crash and typical travel speeds on affected road segments. Based on multiple sources of data in Hong Kong, we also develop a generalized linear model with explanatory variables including crash characteristics, temporal attributes, road network features, traffic indicators, and built environment features, to unveil the relationship between travel delays and these factors. The findings show that crash characteristics alone inadequately explain variations in delays. The model performance improves after factors about the built environment and the dynamic road conditions are incorporated. This underscores the importance of urban factors in traffic delay analysis. Furthermore, we estimate the total travel delays caused by traffic crashes in the city. It is estimated that Hong Kong has suffered from a total delay of 713,877 vehicle-hours in 2021. The associated economic loss amounts to US$11.02 million. This study contributes to methodological advances in estimating crash-induced travel delays. The explanatory model considers factors which help policy makers and planners to identify risky factors and hot spots for devising more targeted and effective strategies of shortening crash-induced traffic congestion in the future. In addition, the findings highlight the significance and magnitude of another negative externality of traffic crashes – traffic delays – in a complex urban road network.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100292,"journal":{"name":"Communications in Transportation Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2772424724000076/pdfft?md5=7dd2e7443178cff7cac1d1f954f1b6e8&pid=1-s2.0-S2772424724000076-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140554426","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To facilitate the understanding of the behavioral impacts and the adoption of innovative mobilities, a novel binary weibit model with an oddball alternative (BW-O) is developed for the binary choice between conventional and emerging mobilities. The BW-O model explicitly considers the unprecedented (or unique) service features of emerging travel modes while retaining the closed-form choice probability. This study empirically illustrates the application of the BW-O model in the mode choice context. The desirable properties of the BW-O model compared to the existing binary choice models are discussed both theoretically and empirically. In the binary mode choice problem with an emerging travel mode, the unique service features of the emerging mode can lead to the “oddball” effect and “superstar” effect, which play a critical role in the travel behavior and mode adoption. The BW-O model inherently captures both effects by considering a higher perception variance for the emerging mode and asymmetric choice probabilities between different modes. Thus, as revealed by the empirical results, the BW-O model outperforms the basic binary weibit model in terms of both model fit and predictive power. The developed BW-O model is not only applicable to the mode choice problem in transportation systems, but also opens a door for more general class-imbalanced binary choice contexts where an alternative has additional attractiveness and asymmetric choice probability.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100292,"journal":{"name":"Communications in Transportation Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2772424724000040/pdfft?md5=65156b1a81922a86bdb5ae27710bdf8f&pid=1-s2.0-S2772424724000040-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140341105","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
