Previous research on RSS efficiency often assumed an ideal robot management system, ignoring potential traffic delays and assuming constant travel times. To address this gap, we introduce a novel robot traffic management method, named Rhythmic Control for the Sorting Scenario (RC-S), for RSS operations, along with an analytical estimation formula that establishes the quantitative relationship between system performance and configurations.

These models play a vital role in identifying and mitigating potential hazards during airport ground operations by providing warnings of near-miss incidents, thereby reducing the risk of accidents that could jeopardize human lives and financial assets. However, existing models, developed decades ago, have not fully integrated recent advancements in machine intelligence, where incorporating additional functionalities presents promising opportunities for improved risk assessment. This work provides a feasible solution to the existing airport surface safety monitoring capabilities (i.e., Airport Surface Surveillance Capability (ASSC)), namely language AI-based voice communication understanding for collision risk assessment. The proposed framework consists of two major parts, (a) rule-enhanced Named Entity Recognition (NER); (b) surface collision risk modeling. NER module generates information tables by processing voice communication transcripts, which serve as references for producing potential taxi plans and calculating the surface movement collision risk. We first collect and annotate our dataset based on open-sourced video recordings and safety investigation reports. Additionally, we refer to FAA Order JO 7110.65W and FAA Order JO 7340.2N to get the list of heuristic rules and phase contractions of communication between the pilot and the Air Traffic Controller (ATCo). Then, we propose the novel ATC Rule-Enhanced NER method, which integrates the heuristic rules into the model training and inference stages, resulting in a hybrid rule-based NER model. We show the effectiveness of this hybrid approach by comparing different setups with different token-level embedding models. For the risk modeling, we adopt the node-link airport layout graph from NASA FACET and model the aircraft taxi speed at each link as a log-normal distribution and derive the total taxi time distribution. Then, we propose a spatiotemporal formulation of the risk probability of two aircraft moving across potential collision nodes during ground movement. Furthermore, we propose the real-time implementation of such a method to obtain the lead time, with a comparison with a Petri-Net based method. We show the effectiveness of our approach through case studies, (a) the Haneda airport runway collision accident happened in January 2024; (b) the KATL taxiway collision happened in September 2024; (c) the Tenerife airport disaster in March 1977. We show that, by understanding the pilot-ATC communication transcripts and analyzing surface movement patterns, the proposed model estimates the surface movement collision probability within machine processing time, thus enabling proactive measures to possible collisions at a certain node, which improves airport safety.

This paper investigates the concept of <em>spatial divisions of labor</em> in on-demand deliveries where the delivery network is partitioned into several operational regions, each managed by designated couriers. To facilitate parcel transshipment between regions, a set of accessible lockers is strategically placed at the shared borders of adjacent regions. We introduce and address a multi-hop delivery with spatial divisions of labor (MDSDL) problem, which involves dynamic parcel-courier dispatching and routing to minimize total operational costs. Within a rolling-horizon decision framework, the MDSDL problem is decomposed into two interdependent subproblems: (i) Region-Level Path Optimization (RLPO) that determines the coarse-grained, multi-hop path each parcel should take through the network, from its pickup region to its destination region, via the lockers, with the objective of minimizing delivery lateness. This path specifies the sequence of service regions a parcel must traverse to reach its final destination. (ii) Courier Route Optimization (CRO) that manages fine-grained, intra-region dispatching and routing by assigning incoming pickup and drop-off tasks to local couriers, who each has a continuously updated schedule. Subsequently, we develop a novel heuristic approach to dynamically solve RLPO and CRO in real time considering a rolling-horizon formulation. Extensive comparative experiments are conducted to demonstrate the advantages of the proposed approach. Implementing <em>spatial divisions of labor</em> not only enhances system efficiency and reduces operational costs but also improves the customer experience by reducing lateness and shortening ready-to-pickup times.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":54417,"journal":{"name":"Transportation Research Part C-Emerging Technologies","volume":"184 ","pages":"Article 105509"},"PeriodicalIF":7.6,"publicationDate":"2026-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145927801","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}

Most existing studies use static or low-frequency dynamic models based on day-ahead forecasts. These methods struggle to adapt to real-time changes, limiting the economic and environmental benefits of the PSG-ES mode. To address this issue, we propose a minute-level dynamic charging scheduling method for multi-route EB systems under the PSG-ES mode. The problem is formulated as a Markov Decision Process, with a penalty function and an action correction mechanism introduced to handle complex operational constraints. To improve learning and adaptability, we develop a deep reinforcement learning algorithm, featuring multi-head networks and composite experience replay to address distribution shifts and policy conflicts. Experiments using real-world EB data show that the proposed method effectively manages supply–demand uncertainties and generates more cost-efficient and environmentally sustainable charging plans.

Existing studies on route redundancy focus mainly on assessment rather than optimization, and most adopt a static perspective that ignores the inherently dynamic nature of resilience. This study introduces the definition, evaluation, and optimization methods for dynamic network redundancy. We propose period-based metrics that account for travelers’ adaptive behavior and network congestion and develop a link-based day-to-day model under uncertainty coupled with Dial counting to consistently measure redundancy. A two-stage stochastic bi-level programming model is then formulated to identify investment strategies that maximize expected dynamic redundancy under uncertain disruptions. In the first stage, planners allocate budgets between link retrofitting and new link construction, while in the second stage, travelers dynamically reroute on a daily basis following disruptions. To solve the resulting non-convex optimization problem, we implement a Bayesian optimization framework with parallel scenario evaluation. Experiments on both test and real-world networks demonstrate the properties, features, and applicability of the proposed methods. Results indicate that accounting for dynamic traffic evolution and congestion can reduce redundancy estimates by up to 40% compared to static assessments in the 16-node test network, particularly under severe disruptions and high congestion levels. The spatial–temporal evolution of congestion patterns, which influences travelers’ perception of alternative routes, is naturally captured by dynamic redundancy but overlooked in static assessments. In the Anaheim network, increasing the budget from $300 million to $1200 million raises dynamic redundancy from 4.5 % to 10.1 %, illustrating diminishing marginal returns.

Maximizing this utility through a deep reinforcement learning (RL) approach drives agents to progressively clone the behavioral policies of human drivers in the real world. The behavioral policy is formulated as a pre-trained driving behavior model and validated on a simulation platform for its ability in reproducing human driving behavior. Experimental results show that the model successfully reproduces the rationality of human drivers and generates human-like interaction trajectories in the simulation environment. Transfer experiments further demonstrate the generalizability of the pre-tained behavioral model. The interaction policy map and the state-value map are visualized to elucidate the generative mechanisms underlying human-like trajectories by revealing risk- and context-dependent layered patterns and latent behavioral preferences.

In this paper, we focus on the applicability of state-of-the-art and well-established TAD methods to road traffic volume data, making contributions in two main ways. First, given the proven and major contribution of evaluation data to TAD outcomes, we argue that existing anomaly-labeled datasets from transportation and traffic systems require substantial enhancements in terms of both data size and label quality. To address this, we propose a new platform to inspect and label large-scale volume data of urban areas based on its unique characteristics and the latest taxonomy of time series anomalies. Second, based on the established framework, we also formulate the TAD problem in traffic volume data and introduce a discord-based, context-embedded, and light-weight traffic anomaly detection method, named Step-isolated Traffic Discords Discovery (Si-TDD), to address this problem. Benefiting from our labeling platform, AnoLT (Anomaly Labeled Traffic) is presented in this paper for the first time as a comprehensive, open-source, and anomaly-labeled spatiotemporal dataset collected from 147 locations across Melbourne, Australia. Comparative results with more than 20 baselines also indicate that Si-TDD considerably outperforms recent TAD solutions when it comes to traffic volume data, achieving a 67% F1 score with the AnoLT dataset.
