Despite the widespread popularity of deep learning in TFP, its application to signalized networks in urban areas remains constrained by two critical challenges. First, signal-induced interruptions and queuing at approaches result in discontinuities in traffic flow, which makes it difficult for prediction tasks to capture the data correlation features among other spatially adjacent segments. Second, unavoidable communication and equipment failures lead to severe random data loss (sometimes exceeding 50 %) in urban road network detector readings, which further complicates the extraction of traffic flow patterns and key features. To address these challenges, this study proposes the <strong>T</strong>ime <strong>A</strong>ccessibility-based <strong>M</strong>ulti-task <strong>L</strong>earning <strong>F</strong>ramework for Missing Data <strong>I</strong>mputation (MDI) and TF<strong>P</strong> (TAMLF-I&amp;P). The TAMLF-I&amp;P leverages multi-source data and domain-specific knowledge to dynamically construct time accessibility-based adjacency matrixes, which effectively capture real-time topological relationships between approach lanes. Building on this matrix, a multi-task framework is introduced to simultaneously optimize the MDI and TFP tasks, helping to prevent potential error accumulation when MDI and TFP tasks are executed separately. Additionally, a novel deep learning approach combining Diffusion Graph Convolutional Network (DGCN) and Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) is employed to capture complex spatiotemporal dependencies. Experiments on two real-world datasets demonstrate that the TAMLF-I&amp;P model significantly enhances prediction accuracy, particularly in scenarios with 70 % missing data, achieving up to 7.79 % reduction in Mean Absolute Error (MAE) compared to traditional models. Ablation experiments indicate that the time accessibility-based adjacency matrix and the multi-task learning framework significantly enhance the accuracy of TFP with substantial data missing.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":54417,"journal":{"name":"Transportation Research Part C-Emerging Technologies","volume":"180 ","pages":"Article 105343"},"PeriodicalIF":7.6,"publicationDate":"2025-09-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145120848","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}

In complex traffic environments, platoon dynamics frequently change due to external disturbances and varying traffic demands. These changes manifest as acceleration and deceleration, speed variations, and headway adjustments. This paper proposes a cooperative control method to manage the performance and stability of the platoon during state changes. Based on optimal control theory and arbitrary time headway (ATH) policy, a linear quadratic regulator (LQR) is constructed with safety, efficiency, and stability as objectives. The controller enables all vehicles in the platoon to maintain the desired time headway and synchronize their movements. To accommodate varying headway requirements, the model is further extended to a switched system, allowing stable transitions between arbitrary desired time headways. The stability of the optimal control and switched system is proved using transfer function and Lyapunov methods. Considering the inaccuracies in lower-level response, an active disturbance rejection controller (ADRC) is designed to refine control inputs and mitigate tracking errors. To validate the model in practical applications, simulation experiments incorporating vehicle dynamics are conducted using CarSim and MATLAB. Simulation results indicate that under the proposed control model, followers in the platoon respond more rapidly and safely to changes in the leader’s state. During transitions between arbitrary desired time headways, the platoon reconfigures more efficiently while ensuring improved safety and stability.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":54417,"journal":{"name":"Transportation Research Part C-Emerging Technologies","volume":"180 ","pages":"Article 105353"},"PeriodicalIF":7.6,"publicationDate":"2025-09-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145120850","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}

A key challenge is the imperfect detection of attacks, where the CAV’s security system can only partially observe the attack state through a detection algorithm. To address this, we formulate the problem as a Partially Observable Markov Decision Process (POMDP), aimed at minimizing the total discounted cost over a finite horizon by dynamically allocating security resources, ensuring both safety and successful trip completion.

LFT envisions a scenario where all vehicles are CAVs, coordinating their movements without lanes to achieve smoother traffic flow and higher road capacity. This potentially reduces congestion without building new infrastructure. However, the transition phase will likely involve non-connected actors such as human-driven vehicles (HDVs) or independent AVs sharing the roads. This raises the question of how LFT performance is impacted when not all vehicles are CAVs, as these non-connected vehicles may prioritize their own benefits over system-wide improvements. This paper addresses this question through microscopic simulation on a ring road, where CAVs follow the potential lines (PL) controller for LFT, while HDVs adhere to a strip-based car-following model. The PL controller is also modified for safe velocities to prevent collisions. The results reveal that even a small percentage of HDVs can significantly disrupt LFT flow: 5% HDVs can reduce LFT’s maximum road capacity by 20% and a 40% HDVs nearly halves it, up until 100% HDVs where it drops by nearly 60%. The study also develops an adaptive potential line (APL) controller that forms APL corridors in the surroundings of HDVs. APL shows a peak traffic flow improvement of nearly 10% over the PL controller. The study indicates that a penetration rate of approximately 60% CAVs is required to start observing the major LFT benefits. These findings open a new research direction on minimizing the adverse effects of non-connected vehicles on LFT.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":54417,"journal":{"name":"Transportation Research Part C-Emerging Technologies","volume":"180 ","pages":"Article 105315"},"PeriodicalIF":7.6,"publicationDate":"2025-09-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145099632","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}

In conventional PIML, physics information from classical traffic flow models is typically incorporated by constructing a hybrid loss function that combines data-driven loss and physics loss through linear scalarization. The goal is to find a trade-off between these two objectives to improve the accuracy of model predictions. However, from a mathematical perspective, linear scalarization is limited to identifying only the convex region of the Pareto front, as it treats data-driven and physics losses as separate objectives. Given that most PIML loss functions are non-convex, linear scalarization restricts the achievable trade-off solutions. Moreover, tuning the weighting coefficients for the two loss components can be both time-consuming and computationally challenging. To address these limitations, this paper introduces a paradigm shift in PIML by reformulating the training process as a multi-objective optimization problem, treating data-driven loss and physics loss independently. We apply several multi-gradient descent algorithms (MGDAs), including traditional multi-gradient descent (TMGD) and dual cone gradient descent (DCGD), to explore the Pareto front in this multi-objective setting. These methods are evaluated on both macroscopic and microscopic traffic flow models. In the macroscopic case, MGDAs achieved comparable performance to traditional linear scalarization methods.

However, their increasing popularity brings forth new challenges, particularly concerning congestion at charging stations and on roads. Recent advancements in wireless communication and sensing technologies enable travelers to access real-time traffic and charging station availability information via navigation systems, allowing them to make informed routing and charging decisions to avoid congestion. However, this real-time information can sometimes be counterproductive. If travelers react independently and selfishly to similar traffic information, it can exacerbate congestion due to the flash crowd effect. This study aims to alleviate such problems by developing a navigation system based on dynamic coordinated joint routing and en-route charging mechanism (DcRC) to provide coordinated routing and charging guidance for both EVs and internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles, thereby reducing congestion on roads and at charging stations. Specifically, by incorporating traffic flow and charging station queue dynamics, the DcRC is formulated as a mixed strategy congestion game with an equivalent mathematical programming model, which generates equilibrium routing and charging decisions to mitigate the flash crowd effect and reduce traffic congestion without violating each vehicle’s self-interest. To integrate the DcRC into online navigation services, this study develops an asynchronous distributed ADMM-aided Branch-and-Bound (DAB) solution algorithm to efficiently solve the DcRC with hundreds of participants. The DAB draws upon a customized branch and bound algorithm to decompose the complex mathematical program into manageable sub-problems, and utilizes an asynchronous distributed ADMM to solve each sub-problem efficiently with privacy protection, leveraging individual vehicles’ computing resources while sustaining robustness against their unstable and stochastic computing and communication performance.

We consider a TNC platform that simultaneously coordinates a fleet of for-hire vehicles and deploys micromobility infrastructures to offer both ride-hailing and shared micromobility services, in conjunction with a public transit agency operating in the same transportation network. To capture the key elements of such a multimodal system, we develop a market equilibrium model that incorporates ride-hailing waiting times, micromobility access and egress times, the spatial distribution of micromobility infrastructure, passenger demand, platform pricing and fleet sizing, vehicle repositioning, and traffic congestion. The platform’s decision-making problem is formulated as a non-convex program, and a tailored solution method is proposed to efficiently compute the solution through problem reformulation and dimensionality reduction. Using the developed model, we analyze the implications of two prevalent TNC regulations: (a) a congestion charge on ride-hailing services aimed at mitigating traffic congestion; and (b) a vehicle density floor for shared micromobility services to promote spatial equity. Our results reveal several unintended consequences of these regulations due to the interplay between ride-hailing, shared micromobility, and public transit in a multimodal transportation network. Interestingly, we find that how the congestion charge on ride-hailing trips influences public transit ridership crucially depends on micromobility’s role as a feeder mode: when micromobility serves as a significant transit feeder, the congestion charge increases transit ridership; otherwise, the congestion charge on ride-hailing services could inadvertently reduce transit ridership. Furthermore, we find that imposing a vehicle density floor for micromobility services, while improving the spatial equity of micromobility, may inadvertently reduce the equity of ride-hailing services, ultimately widening the overall equity gap across the multimodal transportation network. These unintended consequences are observed only when all three modes-ride-hailing, shared micromobility, and public transit-are jointly modeled, underscoring the critical importance of accounting for multimodal interactions in the design and evaluation of TNC regulations.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":54417,"journal":{"name":"Transportation Research Part C-Emerging Technologies","volume":"180 ","pages":"Article 105340"},"PeriodicalIF":7.6,"publicationDate":"2025-09-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145048889","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}
