Abstract

A review of recent developments in the technology of x-ray imaging hardware has been completed. Based on this review, we believe that the following items merit more detailed scrutiny in regards to their applications to US Homeland Security interests: • Fujifilm’s 17” x 17” flat panel detectors which are part of the company’s FDR AcSelerate x-ray imaging systems, • GE Healthcare’s Gemstone™ scintillators for their use in CT units, • CZT baggage scanning units under development by either Endicott Interconnect Technologies or Redlen Technologies and which employ a new “XENA™” IC with NEXIS™ protocols, and • Dual Energy Line- Scanning devices from either Hamamatsu Photonics (C10800 series) or from the X-Scan Imaging Corporation (XD8800 and XDR8800 Series Line-Scan Camera). The bases for these recommendations, as well as other not highlighted above, are noted below. The footnotes document company contact information. Beyond the text highlighting the recommendations, a number of appendices have been added which document the research conducted for this review.

Large language models for transportation research: Methodologies, state of the art, and future opportunities

The rapid rise of large language models (LLMs) is transforming transportation research, with significant advancements emerging between 2023 and 2025, a period marked by the inception and swift growth of adopting and adapting LLMs for various transportation applications. Despite these significant advancements, however, a systematic review and synthesis of the existing literature remains lacking. This paper aims to fill this gap by providing a comprehensive review of the methodologies and applications of LLMs in transportation. We explore key applications, including autonomous driving, travel behavior prediction, and general transportation-related queries, alongside LLM methodologies such as zero- or few-shot learning, prompt engineering, and fine-tuning. From the review, critical research gaps are identified. From the methodological perspective, many of the research limitations can be addressed by integrating LLMs with existing tools and refining LLM architectures. From the application perspective, research opportunities for LLMs to address various transportation challenges are also explored. By synthesizing these findings, this review not only presents the state-of-the-art LLM adoption and adaptation in transportation, but also proposes future research directions as well as insights and recommendations for policymakers and practitioners, paving the way for greater LLM-driven research innovations in transportation in the future.
