Autonomous Driving & Cooperative Perception
In Progress

Autonomous Driving & Cooperative Perception

Exploring cooperative perception for autonomous driving using the V2X-Real dataset. This project investigates vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V), vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I), and infrastructure-to-infrastructure (I2I) communication strategies, training V2X-ViT baseline models on multi-agent 3D detection tasks with LiDAR and camera fusion.

UGPTI Pavement Condition Automation
In Progress

UGPTI Pavement Condition Automation

Automating Pavement Condition Index (PCI) estimation using the Gemini large language model. The system identifies pavement type and distress categories, measures severity levels, computes deduct values from standard curves, and calculates corrected deduct values (CDV) to produce final PCI scores — streamlining what has traditionally been a manual inspection process.

Traffic Movie Prediction
In Progress

Traffic Movie Prediction

Developing RCSNet (Road-Conditioned Spatiotemporal Network) for multi-city traffic flow forecasting. The architecture features four modules — Static Road Encoder, Temporal Traffic Encoder, Road-Guided Cross-Attention Fusion, and Road-Weighted Loss — to predict traffic patterns on high-resolution grids across cities including Moscow, Barcelona, Bangkok, and Chicago.

Multi-Class Multi-Object Tracking (MCMOT)
In Progress

Multi-Class Multi-Object Tracking (MCMOT)

Finalizing a multi-class multi-object tracking framework designed to simultaneously detect and track diverse road users — vehicles, pedestrians, and cyclists — across complex traffic scenes. This project advances robust association and re-identification methods for real-time transportation monitoring.
