Electric field measurements of DC-driven positive streamer coronas using the E-FISH method

Abstract

This paper reports on electric field measurements, using the electric field-induced second harmonic (E-FISH) method, sampling the spatial structure and temporal development of DC-driven positive streamer coronas in atmospheric-pressure air at relevant timescales to examine the self-pulsating behavior of the discharge. The discharge is triggered from a point-to-plate geometry and consists of transient coronas, which bridge the inter-electrode gap and pulsate at about 3 kHz, superimposed with a persisting glow corona. The measurements presented challenge the phenomenological explanation for the pulsations based on field recovery at the anode driven by the evacuation of positive ions by electric drift effects and hint at a propagating wave-like feature from the plate-cathode to the tip-anode.

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.
