The mobility landscape has shifted dramatically in recent years, encompassing autonomous vehicles and mixed mobility in a rapidly expanding global market. A transformative paradigm shift, from reactive to predictive, is now occurring in transportation systems management and operations (TSMO), promoted by the rise of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI). It enables the proliferation of innovative ideas and positions them at the fingertips of the traveling public for real-time decision-making. We explore how GenAI can be leveraged to enhance safer operations and the adaptive capacity of the legacy transportation system by developing next-generation GenAI-fused tools and methods.

At our core, we are dedicated to researching cyber-enabled AI solutions that can provide predictive intelligence through both curiosity-driven and use-infused research at the forefront of TSMO. Our vision is to transform how we construct, work, and travel, promising a brighter and more efficient future for the next generation. Below are two examples of projects produced by our researchers.
