This presentation outlines the recent work of Dr. Zheng’s team across two key topics. The first topic addresses a critical issue in autonomous driving systems: how human interventions impact the training and safety validation of sensing-centric autonomous driving. The second topic covers the extensive studies on network-level traffic flow modeling and management, which is one of the most important developments in traffic engineering theory over the last decade established by Prof. Nikolas Geroliminis’ group.
