Extracting Horizontal Alignment Information from Geographic Information Systems (GIS) Maps: A Clustering Approach

Extracting Horizontal Alignment Information from Geographic Information Systems (GIS) Maps: A Clustering Approach Roadway horizontal alignment data are crucial and necessary information for various safety analyses. Yet, more often than not this information is not readily available in states’ roadway inventory databases. The necessity of horizontal alignment dataset and the difficulties in obtaining it have…

Learning-based Control: A Tool for Autonomous Driving

Learning-based Control: A Tool for Autonomous Driving Professor Zhong-Ping Jiang presents recent developments in learning-based control for completely unknown dynamical systems, and how to learn adaptive optimal controllers from limited data. The progress on the topic benefits tremendously from the entanglement of reinforcement learning and model-based control theory. Learning-based design schemes aim to overcome the…
