Insights into the tectonics in Myanmar from new high-resolution and integrated focal mechanism catalogs
Published 2023“…Our findings emphasize the need for a re-assessment of the seismic hazard in Myanmar given the potential for seismic gaps along the Sagaing Fault, the CMB and the megathrust to rupture as large earthquakes, the active seismicity along pre-existing faults (some of which are unmapped/blind) beneath the CMB, the seismically active subducting Indian Plate that is capable of producing moderate to large intraslab earthquakes and the close proximity of these active structures to populated cities (e.g., Mandalay, Nay Pyi Taw, Bago, Yangon), thick (6-15 km) sedimentary basins and other infrastructure (dams, highways and railway tracks).…”

Human-guided reinforcement learning: methodology and application to autonomous driving
Published 2023“…The proposed human demonstration-aided RL method is instantiated in a value-based RL algorithm and used to address the tactical decision-making of AVs in multi-lane highways. This method is shown to be advantageous over conventional RL-based approaches. …”

Machine learning models in urban transport applications: understanding and actuation
Published 2023“…In the first work, we tackle the challenge of non-recurrent mobility patterns in the context of highway vehicular traffic flow prediction. We adopt spatiotemporal modeling techniques and propose to mine the transition patterns from historical trajectories to complement non-recurrent mobility patterns. …”

The functional performance of engineered cementitious composites material for electrified roadway application in Singapore
Published 2021“…However, due to the omission of coarse aggregates in ECC mix design, pavement made of ECC generally shows low skid resistance which might cause skid-accidents in highway traffic. On top of that, high intensity of rainfall might increase the risk of hydroplaning which also leads to wet-skid accident. …”
