Traditional trajectory generation methods are deterministic and use physics-based models with well-calibrated physical parameters and speed schedules. However, these models require knowledge of the clearances issued to aircraft in order to produce a full trajectory. Tools which can marginalise over these clearances to generate a four-dimensional trajectory are valuable in simulations as they emulate the behaviour of human controllers in background sectors, while also reflecting the level of uncertainty present in the system. Consequentially, this work proposes a probabilistic method for generating 4D aircraft trajectories that are specific to a sector of airspace, incorporating multiple routes and allowing local procedures such as co-ordinated entry and exit points to be modelled. The proposed model couples a model for generating plausible aircraft ground tracks with data-driven climb and descent models specific to an aircraft’s (ICAO) wake turbulence category. A simple algorithm combines the lateral and vertical trajectories together to produce a four-dimensional (4D) trajectory. A busy sector in the United Kingdom’s upper airspace was the focus of the study, which used a dataset comprising one month of aircraft surveillance data. It was found that the proposed model offered improved modelling of aircraft performance and the lateral path followed by aircraft compared to existing, deterministic methods of trajectory generation.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":54417,"journal":{"name":"Transportation Research Part C-Emerging Technologies","volume":"179 ","pages":"Article 105291"},"PeriodicalIF":7.6,"publicationDate":"2025-08-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144780130","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here, we consider an emerging opportunity to reduce carbon emissions: the growing adoption of semi-autonomous vehicles, which can be programmed to mitigate stop-and-go traffic through intelligent speed commands and, thus, reduce emissions. But would such <em>dynamic eco-driving</em> move the needle on climate change? A comprehensive impact analysis has been out of reach due to the vast array of traffic scenarios and the complexity of vehicle emissions. Such an analysis would require careful modeling of many traffic scenarios and solving an eco-driving problem at each one of them - a challenge that has been out of reach for previous studies. We address this challenge with large-scale scenario modeling efforts and by using multi-task deep reinforcement learning with a carefully designed network decomposition strategy. We perform an in-depth prospective impact assessment of dynamic eco-driving at 6,011 signalized intersections across three major US metropolitan cities, simulating a million traffic scenarios. Overall, we find that vehicle trajectories optimized for emissions can cut city-wide intersection carbon emissions by 11%–22%, without harming throughput or safety, and with reasonable assumptions, equivalent to the national emissions of Israel and Nigeria, respectively. We find that 10% eco-driving adoption yields 25%–50% of total reduction, and nearly 70% of the benefits come from 20% of intersections, suggesting near-term implementation pathways. However, the composition of this high-impact subset of intersections varies considerably across different adoption levels, with minimal overlap, calling for careful strategic planning for eco-driving deployments. Moreover, the impact of eco-driving, when considered jointly with projections of vehicle electrification, hybrid vehicle adoption, and travel growth, remains significant. More broadly, this work paves the way for large-scale analysis of traffic externalities, such as time, safety, and air quality, and the potential impact of solution strategies.

This growth has been accompanied by a concerning rise in crashes involving these riders, posing a critical challenge for city authorities and policymakers. Promoting safer riding behavior, such as choosing safer routes while delivering food, can potentially reduce crash risks. With this motivation, this paper aims to evaluate the effectiveness of strategies that encourage riders to choose safer routes and estimate the value riders place on reducing the risk of road crashes. The paper presents a stated preference experiment conducted with food delivery riders in Amsterdam and Copenhagen to assess two targeted strategies: ’safety information’ and ’monetary incentives’, designed to encourage riders toward selecting safer routes. The results from the route choice model show that presenting information about safety against crashes on different routes and offering monetary incentives can effectively motivate riders to choose safer routes, even if these are longer. The trade-offs riders make between safer and shorter routes were quantified by calculating the Value of Risk Reduction (VRR) and Willingness to Accept (WTA) indicators, which offer valuable insights into riders’ safety preferences. These indicators highlight how much riders value risk reduction and the compensation required to choose safer routes. Furthermore, the findings reveal that factors related to riders’ working arrangements and socio-demographic profiles significantly influence their route choice decisions. The paper concludes with a discussion about the practical challenges associated with implementing the strategies to enhance rider safety and proposing potential solutions that can be useful for food delivery platforms and policymakers.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":54417,"journal":{"name":"Transportation Research Part C-Emerging Technologies","volume":"179 ","pages":"Article 105272"},"PeriodicalIF":7.6,"publicationDate":"2025-08-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144780129","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Stochastic models have been extensively developed to capture the probabilistic nature of car-following behavior dynamics. However, the time-varying nature driven by driver heterogeneity has not been adequately studied. To this end, this paper proposes a stochastic modeling framework that incorporates multi-regime car-following models with a Bayesian calibration approach to account for the driver heterogeneity in human car-following behaviors. More specifically, our framework employs a K-means clustering algorithm to categorize human drivers into three driving styles and leverages a hierarchical Dirichlet process-hidden semi-Markov model (HDP-HSMM) to segment car-following sequences into diverse driving regimes, thereby capturing driver heterogeneity. According to the segmented driving regimes, three distinct hierarchies of multi-regime Bayesian intelligent driver models (denoted pooled, hierarchical, and unpooled B-IDM) are developed to capture the time-varying nature of car-following behaviors across diverse driving regimes. These models are well-calibrated using a Bayesian approach with car-following trajectory data extracted from the Waymo open motion dataset and Lyft level-5 dataset. Deterministic and stochastic simulations are performed to evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed stochastic modeling framework. The experimental results demonstrate significant differences in car-following behaviors across various driving styles and driving regimes. The proposed framework effectively represents these heterogeneous car-following behaviors through the developed multi-regime hierarchical B-IDM with time-varying parameters. Additionally, the stochastic simulation achieves a more accurate representation than the deterministic simulation in replicating the dynamics of human car-following behaviors.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":54417,"journal":{"name":"Transportation Research Part C-Emerging Technologies","volume":"179 ","pages":"Article 105282"},"PeriodicalIF":7.6,"publicationDate":"2025-08-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144771531","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We optimize the locations of distribution centers, the allocation of demand, and the transportation choices between diesel trucks and electric trucks. We account for the nonlinear relationship between emissions and payload for diesel trucks, focus on two representative functional forms- concave and convex- and propose a mixed-integer nonlinear optimization model to minimize costs and CO2-equivalent emissions. We use Lagrangean relaxation to decompose the model by echelon and isolate the convex and concave nonlinearity in an easy-to-solve subproblem.
