Abstract

This paper proposes a novel method for the optimal tuning of set points for multiple-layered control system structure widely seen in robotics and other complex industrial processes composed of a number of subsystems. The terminal sliding mode control (SMC) is used as the low-level control strategy to ensure the stability of subsystems. When uncertainties exist, it can be shown that the deteriorated system performance will be improved by the outer loop with set points tuning. For this purpose, the learning of the new set point is designed to compensate for the effects caused by uncertainties during the system operation. At the same time, the system is proven to stay with the original set point when the compensation is introduced. A practical application to a holonomic mobile robot system is given to illustrate the presented method. Desired results have been obtained.

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.
