INSPIRE lab will present three of recent research at TRB 2024: (1)Estimating Bus Occupancy in Real-time from Wi-Fi Frames with Randomized MAC Addresses; (2) Optimal Speed Limit Control for Network Mobility and Safety: A Twin-Delayed Deep Deterministic Policy Gradient Approach; (3) Estimating Bus Occupancy in Real-time from Wi-Fi Frames with Randomized MAC Addresses

I’m thrilled to receive the NSF CAREER Award this year. Especially thanks my mentors, students, and friends who have helped greatly to this achievement. The topic of my CAREER proposal is on “A Decentralized Optimization Framework for Next-Gen Transportation and Power Systems with Large-scale Transportation Electrification”, aiming to contribute to the efficiency, sustainability, and resilience of these two critical infrastructure systems leveraging electric vehicles. Look forward to broad collaboration and discussion on this topics.

Dr. Guo will serve as the panelist on the NSF-sponsored workshop: Cyber-enabled to Support Carbon-Neutral Electricity and Mobility at TAMU from Apr. 24-25, 2023. The title of his talk is on Opportunities and Challenges for Large-scale Transportation Electrification.

INSPIRE LAB’s paper on Multi-stage Charging Station and Distributed Generator Planning in Decentralized Power Distribution and Transportation Systems received the 3rd place in the best student paper award competition in Energy System Track in IISE Annual Conference 2022. Congratulations Sina and Rakibul!

We will have three presentations at IISE Annual Conference 2022 at Seattle from May 21 to May 24, 2022. Sina will present the work, coauthored with Rakibul Alam and Dr. Guo, on multi-stage multi-agent charging infrastructure and distributed generators planning in coupled transportation and power systems. Dr. Guo will present two of the works on the charging infrastructure planning for ride-sourcing systems (coauthored with Rakibul) and network modeling with en-route information updates for transportation systems (coauthored with Fatima).

Rakibul presented one of his recent research at 2022 7th Annual UTC Conference for the Southeastern Region. The title of the presentation is Co-optimization of Charging Scheduling and Platooning for Long-haul Freight Electric Vehicles.

INSPIRE LAB’s poster on Spatial Pricing of Ride-sourcing Services in a Congested Transportation Network received 2nd place in the poster competition in INFORMS Annual Conference 2021. Congratulations Fatima!
