Abstract

Devices that include a liquid chamber including at least two ports, wherein the opening of a first port is larger than the opening of a second port, an air chamber including at least one port, and a membrane located between the liquid chamber and the air chamber, and a pressure sensor coupled to the port in the air chamber are provided. Systems including the disclosed devices are also provided. The systems include liquid in the liquid chamber of the device. Methods of using the devices and systems include measuring one or more properties of a liquid by flowing the liquid through the liquid chamber of the system and measuring the pressure produced due to the difference in size of the ports in the liquid chamber.

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.
