Forecasting and Mitigating Disruptions in Public Bus Transit Services

Decision Making in Non-Stationary Environments with Policy-Augmented Search
In this paper, we introduce \textit{Policy-Augmented Monte Carlo tree search} (PA-MCTS), which combines action-value estimates from an out-of-date policy with an online search using an up-to-date model of the environment.
Act as You Learn: Adaptive Decision-Making in Non-Stationary Markov Decision Processes
However, existing approaches for decision-making in NSMDPs have two major shortcomings: first, they assume that the updated environmental dynamics at the current time are known (although future dynamics can change); and second, planning is largely pessimistic, i. e., the agent acts ``safely'' to account for the non-stationary evolution of the environment.

Second, we provide an overview of how AI can aid decision-making with a focus on transportation.

ADVISER: AI-Driven Vaccination Intervention Optimiser for Increasing Vaccine Uptake in Nigeria
More than 5 million children under five years die from largely preventable or treatable medical conditions every year, with an overwhelmingly large proportion of deaths occurring in under-developed countries with low vaccination uptake.
Offline Vehicle Routing Problem with Online Bookings: A Novel Problem Formulation with Applications to Paratransit
Vehicle routing problems (VRPs) can be divided into two major categories: offline VRPs, which consider a given set of trip requests to be served, and online VRPs, which consider requests as they arrive in real-time.
An Online Approach to Solve the Dynamic Vehicle Routing Problem with Stochastic Trip Requests for Paratransit Services
Accounting for stochastic requests while optimizing a non-myopic utility function is computationally challenging; indeed, the action space for such a problem is intractably large in practice.
Risk-Aware Scene Sampling for Dynamic Assurance of Autonomous Systems
Our samplers of RNS and GBO sampled a higher percentage of high-risk scenes of 83% and 92%, compared to 56%, 66% and 71% of the grid, random and Halton samplers, respectively.
Decision Making in Non-Stationary Environments with Policy-Augmented Monte Carlo Tree Search
We find that PC-MCTS can achieve higher cumulative rewards than the policy in isolation under several environmental shifts while converging in significantly fewer iterations than pure MCTS.
