TITLE: Fluidic City: From Mixed Traffic Flow to Smart City

ABSTRACT:
By 2050, two-thirds of the global population will live in cities,
intensifying challenges like traffic congestion, pollution, and inequality.
In this talk, I’ll present our innovations that carry the potential to
advance the efficiency and adaptability of future cities. First, I'll
introduce our recent progress in mixed-autonomy traffic control. Next, I'll
showcase how we reconstruct citywide traffic dynamics using sparse mobile
data, laying the groundwork for large-scale mixed traffic management.
Finally, I'll explore future research directions at the intersection of
intelligent transportation systems and urban innovations.

Sponsored by the RAISE at UCR Institute, the AI Seminar Series presents
speakers working on cutting edge Foundational AI or applying AI in their
research. The goal of these seminars is to inform the UCR community about
current trends in AI research and promote collaborations between faculty in
this emerging field. These seminars are open to interested faculty and
graduate/undergraduate students. Please forward this email to other
colleagues or students in your lab that may be interested. After the seminar a
discussion will follow for questions, open problems, ideas for possible
collaborations etc.
