The Telemobility University Transportation Center (UTC), a partnership of Northwestern, UC Berkeley, and UT Austin, is pleased to announce the fourth in a series of Telemobility Virtual Roundtables (TVR) aimed at understanding the supply side of tele-activities and e-processes, and their impact on the demand for travel and mobility.

The tremendous growth of e-commerce and omnichannel retail options available to consumers, as well as the COVID-19 lockdown, has led to the doubling of e-commerce purchases during the last year. COVID-19 accelerated retail innovation at both online only and brick and mortar retailers with growing online visibility. Both have been rapidly developing e-fulfillment systems, including new distribution centers and warehouses, in-store fulfillment centers, and in-store, pickup and delivery options. The extent of a shift to online purchasing, new options for goods delivery or pickup, and the resulting experience and satisfaction with these services, will likely determine the future adoption of e-commerce transactions by new customer segments. The objective of this webinar is for transportation and mobility professionals to engage in a conversation with e-commerce retail experts to better understand likely developments in omnichannel retail, and how these might impact travel and transportation demand.

Abstract:

Spatiotemporal mobility/traffic data, which registers timestamped travel activity/traffic state (e.g., flow and speed) observations from different locations (a network of sensors/zones), is an essential input to a wide range of intelligent transportation systems (ITS) and urban planning applications. These applications are critical components of smart transportation of the future, benefiting both travelers and transport agencies. The fundamental of modeling spatiotemporal mobility/traffic data is to characterize the spatiotemporal and higher-order correlations/dependencies within the data and perform efficient and reliable imputation/recovery/forecasting for decision making. However, traditional statistical models are computationally too costly to deal with the large-scale data sets we have. In this talk, I will focus on discussing the low-rank property of traffic and mobility data, and introducing recent development on low-rank modeling schemes for spatiotemporal mobility and traffic data. In particular, I will introduce some recent studies on traffic data imputation and traffic state estimation.

Speaker Bio:

Dr. Lijun Sun is an Assistant Professor with the Department of Civil Engineering at McGill University, Montreal, Canada. He obtained his PhD degree in Civil Engineering (Transportation) from the National University of Singapore in 2015, and received his B.S. degree in Civil Engineering from Tsinghua University in 2011. Prior to joining McGill, he was a Postdoctoral Associate at MIT Media Lab during 2015-2017 and a Senior Researcher at Singapore-ETH Center in 2015. His research focuses on intelligent transportation systems and urban computing, developing innovative methodologies, tools, and applications to address the efficiency, resilience, and sustainability issues in urban transportation systems. He is now leading the Smart Transportation Lab (http://smart.lab.mcgill.ca/) at McGill, and the current research program of the lab centers on modeling large-scale, high-dimensional, and spatiotemporal urban mobility and traffic data. He is currently an Associate Editor of Transportation Research Part C: Emerging Technologies, and a member of the Editorial Advisory Board for Journal of Advanced Transportation. Dr. Sun’s research has been supported by the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council (NSERC) of Canada, the Fonds de recherche du Québec – Nature et technologies (FRQNT), Fonds de Recherche du Québec - Société et Culture (FRQSC), Canada Foundation for Innovation (CFI), and the Institut de Valorisation des Données (IVADO).
