题 目：Networks: A Multi-disciplinary Paradigm and Its Applications in Transportation
报告人：Prof. Anthony Chen, Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering Utah State University, Logan, Utah, USA;上海同济大学东方学者特聘教授
摘 要: Throughout history, networks have served as the foundation for connecting humans to one another and their activities. This seminar will give an overview of networks as a multi-disciplinary paradigm with some applications in transportation. It will briefly cover four research topics: (1) transportation network reliability/vulnerability/resiliency analysis, (2) path flow estimator and its applications, (3) network equilibrium models, and (4) experimental research on pedestrian and evacuation behaviors. Some future research will also be discussed in the seminar.
