Traffic control management strategies have been largely focused on improving vehicular traffic flows on highways and freeways but arterials have not been used properly and pedestrians are mostly ignored. New urban arterial designs encourage modal shifts which gives further impetus to devise novel traffic control strategies to more quickly respond to changing conditions and salient events, while balancing safety and efficiency for all users.

Abstract: Project Description

Abstract: Recent years have seen medical devices go from being monolithic to a collection of integrated systems. Modern medical device systems have thus become a distinct class of cyber-physical systems called Medical Cyber Physical Systems (MCPS), featuring complex and close interaction of sophisticated treatment algorithms with the physical aspects of the system, and especially thepatient whose safety is of the utmost concern.

Abstract:  The objective of this research is to create tools to manage uncertainty in the design and certification process of safety-critical aviation systems. The research focuses on three innovative ideas to support this objective. First, probabilistic techniques will be introduced to specify system-level requirements and bound the performance of dynamical components.

Abstract: Following Smart Cities Initiative from White House, this project was aimed to address urban transportation challenges through ridership sharing in both time and space across different transportation modes. Our research project is uniquely built upon large-scale urban infrastructure systems across different cities in the world, including NYC, Washington D.C., San Francisco, Rome, Beijing, Shanghai and Shenzhen.
