This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) provides $183,313 to the University of Texas at Austin to conduct research on "Optimizing Information Value in Heterogeneous Multi-Agent Transportation Systems (OPTIMA)". The project aims to develop a unified modeling framework for information provisioning in transportation systems comprised of diverse traffic components, including cars, autonomous/connected vehicles, buses, and bicycles. The research will investigate how different traffic agents adaptively respond to evolving information updates, the limits of positive and negative information on system efficiency/reliability/resilience, and how to optimally communicate limited information to different stakeholder groups. The project leverages collaborations with the University of Central Florida, City of Orlando, and Argonne National Laboratory, and will also produce educational materials for training a new generation of transportation engineers. The award period is from October 1, 2024 to December 31, 2025.
