Texas Pedestrian Safety Forum, July 12, 2018
Presentation by Kevin Kokes, Principal Transportation Planner, North Central Texas Council of Governments (NCTCOG)
In 2009, the Texas A&M Transportation Institute (TTI) added a one-of-a-kind Visibility Research Laboratory to its collection
of world class research facilities. The laboratory is located in the Institute’s State Headquarters and Research Building in the Research Park at Texas A&M University in College Station, Texas. The laboratory features a 125-foot-long corridor that is used to test retroreflective materials and coatings, lights and other technologies designed to provide nighttime visibility for
highway drivers.
What is Truck Platooning?
Level 2 truck platooning extends radar and vehicle-to-vehicle, communications-based, cooperative-adaptive cruise control using precise automated lateral and longitudinal vehicle control to maintain a tight formation of vehicles with short following distances. A manually driven truck leads a platoon, allowing the driver(s) of the following truck(s) to disengage from driving tasks and monitor system performance. Level 1 truck platooning has demonstrated the potential for significant fuel savings, enhanced mobility and associated emissions reductions from platooning vehicles. Level 2 automation may increase these benefits while reducing driver workload and increasing safety.
The Transportation Revenue Estimator and Needs Determination System (TRENDS) model funded by the Texas Department of Transportation is designed to provide transportation planners, policy makers and the public with a tool to forecast transportation revenues and expenses based on a user-defined level of investment at both the state and local
level. The user, through interactive windows, can control a number of variables related to assumptions regarding statewide transportation needs, population growth rates, fuel efficiency,
federal reimbursement rates, inflation rates, taxes, fees and other elements. The output is a set of tables and graphs showing a forecast of revenues, expenditures and fund balances for each year of the analysis period based on the
user-defined assumptions. The TRENDS model also includes a local option sub-model for each of Texas’ 25 Metropolitan Planning Organizations. Through the local option model the user can analyze changes in local revenues by creating
or adjusting a local fuel tax, local vehicle miles traveled tax, local vehicle registration fee or the local fuel efficiency rates.
The Travel Forecasting Program at the Texas A&M Transportation Institute (TTI) supports and assists public agencies in the development, implementation and application of
current and emerging technologies in travel demand forecasting.
The purpose of travel forecasting is to help transportation
decision makers, at the local and state levels, improve the overall function of the transportation system. Program staff members accomplish this by developing travel models that predict future transportation patterns based on many variables. The variables used by program staff include comprehensive travel survey data, U.S. Census data, current and projected socio-demographic data, existing and projected transportation system data, and current traffic data.
The Texas A&M Transportation Institute (TTI) Transportation Planning Program conducts research on travel surveys, travel behavior and related data collection methods to support travel models, policy, and air quality analyses. Program researchers have expertise in travel data collection methods and technologies; survey design and sampling, data analysis and interpretation; demographic data preparation for modeling; and corridor management and preservation.
The Texas A&M Transportation Institute (TTI) Transit
Mobility Program provides research and technology transfer expertise in all aspects of public transportation planning, management and operations. Program researchers bring a combination of direct operational skills in all bus and rail modes and nationwide research experience with metropolitan, urban and rural transit systems. Research projects result in practical, actionable recommendations for enhancing transit access, efficiency, effectiveness, safety and funding sustainability. Transit Mobility Program staff are adept at facilitating multi-agency groups in the development of shared transportation objectives, innovative strategies and coordinated services.
The TTI Center for Transportation Safety is home to a Realtime Technologies, Inc. (RTI) driving simulator that provides measurements of drivers’ responses to roadway situations, in-vehicle technologies, and driving-related tasks. RTI’s
SimCreator® and SimVista® software tools provide a library of different roadway cross-sections and interchanges, as well as a variety of roadway objects, buildings, and ambient traffic. In addition, custom roadway tiles can be programmed to match a specific roadway segment. This allows for in-house development of a wide range of rural and urban roadway scenarios, making it possible to inexpensively test multiple variations and placements of roadway devices or in-vehicle
signals and displays. Using the driving simulator, researchers can test a wider variety of roadway geometries and traffic conditions than are typically possible in a test-track study or fiscally practical in a field study.
The Texas A&M Transportation Institute’s (TTI) Sediment and
Erosion Control Laboratory (SEC Lab) provides the transportation industry with a research and performance
evaluation program for roadside environmental management. Research at the SEC Lab includes stormwater quality improvement, erosion and sediment control, and vegetation
establishment and management.

Immunizing Image Classifiers Against Localized Adversary Attacksgerogepatton
This paper addresses the vulnerability of deep learning models, particularly convolutional neural networks
(CNN)s, to adversarial attacks and presents a proactive training technique designed to counter them. We
introduce a novel volumization algorithm, which transforms 2D images into 3D volumetric representations.
When combined with 3D convolution and deep curriculum learning optimization (CLO), itsignificantly improves
the immunity of models against localized universal attacks by up to 40%. We evaluate our proposed approach
using contemporary CNN architectures and the modified Canadian Institute for Advanced Research (CIFAR-10
and CIFAR-100) and ImageNet Large Scale Visual Recognition Challenge (ILSVRC12) datasets, showcasing
accuracy improvements over previous techniques. The results indicate that the combination of the volumetric
input and curriculum learning holds significant promise for mitigating adversarial attacks without necessitating
adversary training.

Courier management system project report.pdfKamal Acharya
It is now-a-days very important for the people to send or receive articles like imported furniture, electronic items, gifts, business goods and the like. People depend vastly on different transport systems which mostly use the manual way of receiving and delivering the articles. There is no way to track the articles till they are received and there is no way to let the customer know what happened in transit, once he booked some articles. In such a situation, we need a system which completely computerizes the cargo activities including time to time tracking of the articles sent. This need is fulfilled by Courier Management System software which is online software for the cargo management people that enables them to receive the goods from a source and send them to a required destination and track their status from time to time.
Cosmetic shop management system project report.pdfKamal Acharya
Buying new cosmetic products is difficult. It can even be scary for those who have sensitive skin and are prone to skin trouble. The information needed to alleviate this problem is on the back of each product, but it's thought to interpret those ingredient lists unless you have a background in chemistry.
Instead of buying and hoping for the best, we can use data science to help us predict which products may be good fits for us. It includes various function programs to do the above mentioned tasks.
Data file handling has been effectively used in the program.
The automated cosmetic shop management system should deal with the automation of general workflow and administration process of the shop. The main processes of the system focus on customer's request where the system is able to search the most appropriate products and deliver it to the customers. It should help the employees to quickly identify the list of cosmetic product that have reached the minimum quantity and also keep a track of expired date for each cosmetic product. It should help the employees to find the rack number in which the product is placed.It is also Faster and more efficient way.
Automobile Management System Project Report.pdfKamal Acharya
The proposed project is developed to manage the automobile in the automobile dealer company. The main module in this project is login, automobile management, customer management, sales, complaints and reports. The first module is the login. The automobile showroom owner should login to the project for usage. The username and password are verified and if it is correct, next form opens. If the username and password are not correct, it shows the error message.
When a customer search for a automobile, if the automobile is available, they will be taken to a page that shows the details of the automobile including automobile name, automobile ID, quantity, price etc. “Automobile Management System” is useful for maintaining automobiles, customers effectively and hence helps for establishing good relation between customer and automobile organization. It contains various customized modules for effectively maintaining automobiles and stock information accurately and safely.
When the automobile is sold to the customer, stock will be reduced automatically. When a new purchase is made, stock will be increased automatically. While selecting automobiles for sale, the proposed software will automatically check for total number of available stock of that particular item, if the total stock of that particular item is less than 5, software will notify the user to purchase the particular item.
Also when the user tries to sale items which are not in stock, the system will prompt the user that the stock is not enough. Customers of this system can search for a automobile; can purchase a automobile easily by selecting fast. On the other hand the stock of automobiles can be maintained perfectly by the automobile shop manager overcoming the drawbacks of existing system.
