Abstract

Fringe Projection Profilometry (FPP) is a cost-effective and non-invasive technology that has been shown to measure finer features. Here, in this work, we developed an in-situ FPP method to measure the dynamic topography of powder bed and printed layer during Laser Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF) additive manufacturing (AM) process. A systematic study towards developing a comprehensive framework of LPBF-specific FPP is demonstrated to enhance and evaluate the performance of applying FPP for in-situ LPBF monitoring, including 1) a modified sensor model with localized correction; 2) improved phase unwrapping with FFT filtering 3) quantitative uncertainty analysis; and 4) experimental validation with ex-situ characterization. The developed LPBF-specific FPP system and methods are implemented on a commercial LPBF-AM machine, achieving better accuracy, more robustness, and increased field of view while maintaining sufficient measurement range and decent resolution, in contrast to literature methods. The established FPP framework will facilitate the development of closed-loop control strategies for advancing LPBF based AM.

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.
