Abstract

The growing influence of machine learning (ML) in every aspect of our lives has led to revolutionary advancements in our understanding, prediction, and decision-making capabilities. One field that stands to benefit greatly from applying these techniques includes hydrology and hydraulics. The ability to predict hydrological and hydraulic phenomena with greater accuracy and reliability is of utmost importance, given the increasing threats posed by climate change and extreme weather/climate events. In this editorial, we explore the significant contributions made by four recent studies that aim to advance hydrological and hydraulic predictability through data-driven ML.

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.
