Abstract

A system for creating an internal formation of a tubular structure having an inner surface via additive manufacturing. The system broadly includes a computer modeling system and an additive manufacturing system. The computer modeling system may include a processor for generating a lattice cellular component via computer-aided design software according to inputs received from a user. The processor may also generate an internal formation lattice structure based on the lattice cellular component and modify the lattice structure to follow and/or conform to the curvature of the inner surface of the outer wall of the tubular structure. The additive manufacturing system may be configured to produce the lattice structure and the tubular structure via additive manufacturing material deposited layer by layer according to the lattice structure.

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.
