DESCRIPTION:Dr Yang Zheng\n13:30 – 14:30 – Dr Yang Zheng\nPostdoctoral
  researcher\, Harvard University\, USA\n\nIntegrating Autonomy into Traffi
 c Systems: Scalable Control and Optimization\n\nTraffic systems are underg
 oing a fundamental transformation. The emergence of connected and autonomo
 us vehicles (CAVs) provides tremendous opportunities for sustainability\, 
 efficiency\, and safety. Before 100% CAVs are introduced in traffic system
 s\, there will be a long transition period of mixed mobility\, where both 
 human-driven vehicles and CAVs co-exist. Timely and important questions ar
 e: can a small number of CAVs benefit urban mobility\, and\, if so\, how? 
 Moreover\, the design and operation of CAVs in traffic systems are becomin
 g increasingly complex\, due to system size\, connectivity\, and heterogen
 eity. This talk presents contributions in distributed control and scalable
  optimization techniques\, which are critical for integrating autonomous v
 ehicles into the existing traffic systems. In particular\, I will provide 
 theoretical evidence of the high potential of CAVs in mixed mobility\, and
  I will further show how to exploit sparsity structures to design scalable
  and distributed algorithms that allow operating CAVs in large-scale mixed
  traffic systems.
