• Authors: Suchithra Rajendran, Sharan Srinivas, Trenton Grimshaw
• Abstract summary: This research focuses on predicting the demand for air taxi urban air mobility (UAM) services during different times of the day in various geographic regions of New York City. Several ride-related factors (such as month of the year, day of the week and time of the day) and weather-related variables are used as predictors for four popular machine learning algorithms.

• Abstract: This research focuses on predicting the demand for air taxi urban air mobility (UAM) services during different times of the day in various geographic regions of New York City using machine learning algorithms (MLAs). Several ride-related factors (such as month of the year, day of the week and time of the day) and weather-related variables (such as temperature, weather conditions and visibility) are used as predictors for four popular MLAs, namely, logistic regression, artificial neural networks, random forests, and gradient boosting. Experimental results suggest gradient boosting to consistently provide higher prediction performance. Specific locations, certain time periods and weekdays consistently emerged as critical predictors.

  Flood inundation forecast provides critical information for emergency planning before and during flood events. High-resolution hydrodynamic modeling has become more accessible in recent years, however, predicting flood extents at the street and building levels in real-time is still computationally demanding. We present a hybrid process-based and data-driven machine learning (ML) approach for flood extent and inundation depth prediction.

  A need to understand and predict vehicles' behavior underlies both public and private goals in the transportation domain. Recent studies have found, at best, only marginal improvements in predictive performance from incorporating temporal information. We propose an approach based on hypernetworks, in which a neural network learns to change its own weights in response to an input.

  An attempt to generalize a real-time prediction model for Arrival Runway Occupancy Time (AROT) is presented in this paper. Three days of data, collected from Saab Sensis' Aerobahn system at three US airports, has been used for this work. We have shown that the model trained on numerical equivalent features not only have performances at least on par with models trained on categorical features but also can make predictions on unseen data from other airports.

  This research strives to improve prediction accuracy from two key aspects: better data sources and robust forecasting algorithms. We trained forecasting models with DL techniques of sequence to sequence (seq2seq) and seq2seq with attention. With better data sources, seq2seq with attention can reduce mean squared error (mse) over 60%, compared to the classical autoregressive (AR) forecasting method.
