The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) received a $800,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Information and Intelligent Systems under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering federal grant program (CFDA 47.070). The grant will support the development of an online learning framework to optimize transportation systems as emerging mobility options like connected and automated vehicles alter travel demand and efficiency.

Specifically, MIT researchers will develop new approaches to controlling cyber-physical transportation systems by merging learning and control methods. They will establish an online framework to distribute travel demand across networks in a socially optimal way that improves accessibility, safety, and equity while avoiding rebound effects from increased efficiency. Mechanism design and contextual multi-armed bandit algorithms will be applied to determine optimal routing, mode selection, and understand changing user preferences over the three-year period ending June 2025. The outcomes are intended to enhance understanding of emerging mobility systems and their impacts on transportation.
