Abstract

This paper provides a new method for matching dominant features of Frequency Response Functions (FRFs). In particular, this paper proposes a slicing and shifting method where the key features (in this case, resonant amplitudes) of a baseline FRF are compared with a similar FRF using cross-correlation and a Log-Frequency Shift (LFS). Here, the goal is to provide an alternative to classic point-to-point methods for FRF comparison and instead to match the dominant features of two FRFs in a way similar to visual inspection. This enables existing FRF comparison metrics to then be applied with greater fidelity. Additionally, this paper introduces the Phase Similarity Metric (PSM) for comparing phases of two FRFs and illustrates the improvement of using LFS for phase comparisons as well. This paper uses a cantilever beam experiment in multiple configurations to provide a benchmark case for FRF comparison improvements.

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.
