Dynamic traffic assignment (DTA) models are capable of capturing traffic dynamics and are well-known as a critical tool in controlling and predicting the traffic situation Ameli (2019). DTA simulation allows us to measure the results of deploying different technologies and applying different policies along with real experiments Ameli et al. (2020); Chen et al. (2021); Balzer et al. (2023). One of the crucial steps to achieve realistic results from simulation tools is calibration. It aims to determine the DTA model’s input such that the output represents traffic scenarios with a reliable...

We address the issue of the quality of hybrid simulation, an experimental method used in earthquake engineering to examine the response of structural systems to dynamic excitation. After describing the typical sources and the effects of measurement and actuation errors, we present a reachability-based formulation of error propagation in hybrid simulation. This approach predicts possible (sets of) states of a structural system under dynamic loading for all (sets of) perturbations acting on the system. We compute ellipsoidal approximations of these sets. Finally, we demonstrate the...

Motion planning of autonomous vehicles in understructured road environments is challenging owing to a lack of an efficient and analyzable representation of the contextual information. On one hand, idealistic representations like splines, while efficient and interpretable, are not versatile enough to encode the full complexity of the environment. On the other hand, high-fidelity representations like images, although rich in contents, are computationally expensive to decode and are not readily analyzable. To address this problem, we propose a new data structure named stacked reservation grid (...
