Major research projects

• Principal Investigator, FLOW Jan. 2018 - Present
  Budget to date: ∼2M
  Team: 10 (3 PhD, 5 MEng, 2 undergraduate students).
  FLOW leverages state-of-the-art deep RL libraries and the open-source microsimulator, SUMO, enabling the use of rein- forcement learning to design and train controllers in traffic settings. It develops deep-RL algorithms applicable to mixed autonomy traffic, which will ultimately be deployed for both self-driving trucks and cars.
  Project URL: http://berkeleyflow.github.io/
• Principal Investigator, NestSense, startup spin-off: SafelyYou Inc. Sep. 2014 - Present 
  Budget to date: ∼500K (+∼1.5M externally to the university)
  Team: 8 (1 PhD, 5 MEng, 1 staff, 1 nurse, 1 occupational therapist).
  The goal of this project is to complete prototyping of the hardware ecosystem for in-home monitoring of patients with Alzheimer’s disease (AD), to begin data collection with subjects, and to test novel algorithms based on this data. The hardware ecosystem consists of a combination of cameras, Android Wear smartwatches, Android phones, and bluetooth in- home sensors. Data collection will be achieved through a collaboration between clinicians at UCSF, UC Davis and a group of the EECS department at UC Berkeley.
  Project URL: http://safely-you.com/
• Principal Investigator, Connected Corridors project Sep. 2011 - Present
  Budget to date: ∼$21M.
  Team: 50 researchers, engineers and administrative staff at its peak.
  In charge of building and leading a team composed of faculty (co-investigators), post doctoral and staff researchers, Ph.D., M.S. and B.S. students, software engineers, policy analysts, and administrative staff. The ICM project will prototype, test and deploy a pilot architecture for control of a corridor in California, comprising highways, arterial streets and at least one public transit system. The team will build a backend system to control traffic flow through use of traffic lights, ramp metering lights and variable speed limits. The team will develop a smartphone app to incentivize the public to change their commute patterns (mode / route / time of departure) based on social networks and rewards for good behavior. Co-investigators include Profs. Horowitz (ME), Kanafani (CEE), Pozdnoukhov (CEE), Varaiya (EECS), Walker (CEE).

• Principal Investigator, Mobile Millennium project Jan. 2008 - Sep. 2011 
  Budget: >∼ $5M.
  Team: 25 researchers, engineers and administrative staff.
  The Mobile Millennium project was the first traffic app and backend system deployed by Nokia (jointly with UC Berkeley) to gather traffic information from GPS enabled smartphones to reconstruct traffic information in real-time from streaming data. Nicknamed Mobile Century, a prototype system was tested on Feb. 8, 2008 on I80 for 10 hours, on 100 vehicles showcasing the first ever reconstruction of traffic from GPS data only. Subsequently, a field operational test, Mobile Millennium, led and operated by UC Berkeley, was launched to test the system at the scale of California, and has been running to this day, gathering more than 60 million GPS points a day, which are fused with loop, radar and blutooth data. The system is now used by the State of California for procurement, to assess the quality of probe data to be acquired by California.
  Project URL: http://traffic.berkeley.edu/
• Principal Investigator, Floating Sensor Network project Jan. 2006 - Sep 2015 Budget: $2M.
  Team: 10 researchers and students.
  The Floating Sensor Network is the first semi-autonomous fleet of 100 robots based on Android smartphones built to broadcast parameters measured in rivers and estuarine environments to a backend system used for data fusion. The 100 robots have dual motors, diving capabilities, and sensor platforms capable of measuring depth, salinity, temperature and currents. The backend system fuses the streaming Lagrangian data into high fidelity hydrodynamic models for real-time nowcast and forecast of the currents, on 500 nodes of the NERSC computer cluster at LBNL.
  Project URL: http://float.berkeley.edu/
• Co-investigator, NextGen Air Traffic Management System Jan. 2005 - Feb. 2008 Budget: $2M.
  Team: 3 students.
  This project focused on network optimization of the National Airspace System (NAS) in the US. Over three years, I developed a NAS-wide network routing model and optimization framework to mitigate congestion in the en-route airspace, and was implemented to work ETMS/ASDI datastreams jointly with NASA Ames. Co investigators include Profs. Hansen (CEE), Sastry (EECS) and Tomlin (EECS).
