Abstract

Various technologies described herein pertain to interconnect systems for electrical cables. An interconnect system can include a connector, an adapter ring, and a backshell. The connector includes a threaded distal coupling portion. The adapter ring includes a threaded proximal coupling portion and a non-threaded distal coupling portion. The backshell includes a proximal coupling portion and a port. The threaded proximal coupling portion of the adapter ring and the threaded distal coupling portion of the connector can be mechanically attached. Additionally, the proximal coupling portion of the backshell and the non-threaded distal coupling portion of the adapter ring can be mechanically attached. A wire bundle can enter the backshell through the port, pass through the adapter ring, and terminate at the connector. A shield that encloses the wire bundle can terminate at the backshell such that an end of the shield is positioned around an outer surface of the port.

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.
