Prof. Chow among Top 2% of Scientists Worldwide in 2019 Logistics & Transportation subfield
According to updated statistics compiled by Ioannidis et al. (2020), Prof. Chow was listed among the top 2% of scientists having the main subfield discipline of “Logistics and Transportation” (from the Science-Metrix classification, which consists of a population of 21,274 researchers with 5 publications or more) based on Scopus citation impacts from the year 2019 (see Table S7). The filtered list can be accessed here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/15Pl3hYD9VVzXnnZseYRaxxVNoHkXEnBtTXfMIC6JM-Y/edit?usp=sharing.
BUILT Lab will present 11 papers at the 100th Annual Meeting of TRB
Now that the review period is completed and the dust is settled, eleven papers will be presented at the 100th Annual Meeting of the Transportation Research Board to be held virtually in January 2021. The titles and authors are listed in the image, with funding support from NSF, FTA, and C2SMART.
BUILT@NYU well-represented for TRB2020
Nine of our lab’s research papers were accepted for presentation at the upcoming 99th TRB Annual Meeting in January at Washington DC. The topics revolve around MaaS, optimal learning for fleet management, and emerging technologies like e-scooters, modular autonomous vehicles, and air taxis.
BUILT researchers win the IATR Microtransit Hackathon 2019
A team formed from BUILT members, including Ziyi Ma, Gyugeun Yoon, Brian Yueshuai He, and Jinkai Zhou, participated in and won the first Microtransit Hackathon organized by IATR and the Transportation Alliance, with sponsorship from Curb. The team will go on to receive their award and present the work at Mobilize 2019, the annual convention and expo of The Transportation Alliance, to be held at Bally’s in Las Vegas on Oct. 16-19, 2019.

C2SMART research to be presented at INFORMS TSL Workshop in Vienna
Research from the BUILT lab on “Doubly-constrained rebalancing for one-way electric carsharing systems with capacitated charging stations”, from Ted Pantelidis, Li Li (NYUAD), Tai-Yu Ma (LISER), Joseph Chow, and Saif Jabari (NYUAD) has been accepted for presentation at the INFORMS TSL Workshop in Vienna. The workshop’s theme is ““Transportation in the sharing economy”. The project is funded by C2SMART with data shared by BMW ReachNow.
Preliminary work for this project was previously presented at the 98th Annual Meeting of the TRB in Washington DC.
BUILT Lab to present NSF research at TRISTAN X at Hamilton Island
The work from student researchers Saeid Rasulkhani and Ted Pantelidis will be presented at the Tenth Triennial Symposium on Transportation Analysis (TRISTAN X) on June 17-21 at Hamilton Island near the Great Barrier Reef in Australia. The NSF-funded (CMMI-1634973) research is entitled “A many-to-many stable matching cost allocation model for multimodal Mobility-as-a-Service”, where we develop a novel methodology to extend earlier work to handle cost allocation analysis for multiple operators splitting a traveler’s trip. This ongoing work has resulted in major breakthroughs in facilitating design of integrated services between different operators and transport agencies within a true “Mobility-as-a-Service” setting, providing to them a tool like how the classic “traffic assignment problem” helped roadway planning in the last few decades. We are finalizing our computational experiments and will be submitting this to a journal for publication.
Nick Caros’ work featured in a TEDx talk by NEXT co-founder Tommaso Gecchelin
Nick’s thesis work, which involves simulation of en-route transfers to better understand their impacts under different transit operating strategies, was recently featured in a TEDx TUM talk by Tommaso Gecchelin, a co-founder of NEXT Future Transportation.
Nick Caros was a MS student in the Transportation Planning & Engineering program in the Department of Civil & Urban Engineering. He worked as a research assistant in the BUILT lab through funding from C2SMART and completed his MS degree with a thesis in January 2019. He has one conference proceeding and 2 manuscripts under peer review in international journals from his time here.
BUILT lab to present at ISTTT 23 in Lausanne, Switzerland
Brian Yueshuai He and Prof. Chow’s work on “Optimal privacy control for transport network data sharing” has been accepted for a poster at ISTTT 23, the bi-annual international symposium on transportation and traffic theory.
The International Symposium on Transportation & Traffic Theory series is since its first issue in 1959 the main gathering for the world’s transportation and traffic theorists, and for those who are interested in gaining (or contributing to) a deeper understanding of the field. The Symposium deals with both scientific and operational aspects of transportation and traffic, spanning all modes of transport, and covering freight as well as private and public transport.
In more 30 podium presentations the attendants will be informed about the latest scientific insights on transportation and traffic theory. For more information about the symposium, see here.
