We are thrilled to announce that our lab member, Yuhao Liu, presented his paper titled “Alleviating Bus Bunching via Modular Vehicles” at the 6th International Symposium on Multimodal Transportation (ISMT 2024), held at Southeast University from October 18 to 20, 2024, in Nanjing, China. Yuhao’s work stood out among an impressive lineup of research, and he was honored with the Best Presenter Prize for his exceptional presentation and contribution.
In his paper, Yuhao proposed two innovative split-and-merge operations—catch-up splits and holding splits—that help buses recover from schedule deviations. Specifically, catch-up splits assist late buses, while holding splits aid early buses in maintaining regular intervals. His methodology extends the applicability of the continuum approximation model to bus systems with hard capacity constraints without introducing additional conditions. This work provides valuable insights into the design of modular autonomous vehicle (MAV)-aided, bunch-proof transit systems.
The theme of ISMT 2024 is “Emerging Technologies and Methodologies in Multimodal Transportation.” This prestigious symposium provides a platform for participants from both academia and industry to share knowledge and exchange ideas on cutting-edge research in multimodal transportation. Organized by Southeast University, ISMT 2024 brings together experts, scholars, and professionals from diverse backgrounds, fostering discussions on the future of transportation.
We extend our congratulations to Yuhao Liu on his outstanding achievement and encourage everyone with an interest in multimodal transportation to participate in and contribute to ISMT 2024.
WOW!
