Participation in an international conference(IEEE-ITSC 2025)
I am Shuntaro Tanaka, an M1 student.
I participated in IEEE-ITSC (Intelligent Transportation System Conference) 2025 held in Gold Coast, Australia, and gave an oral presentation titled “Development of a Deep Learning-Based Hybrid Calibration Method for Large-Scale Activity-Based Travel Simulator Using Passive Aggregate Population Data.”
IEEE-ITSC is an internationally renowned conference in the field of advanced transportation systems. Beyond transportation planning, I heard many presentations on areas different from our usual focus on traffic flow theory and travel behavior modeling, such as information and communication technologies related to autonomous driving and traffic data observation techniques. This provided an opportunity to broaden my horizons.
Furthermore, within the travel behavior modeling field, I was greatly stimulated by exposure to new methodological trends, such as the utilization of large-scale language models.
During the presentation session, I received detailed questions, particularly regarding methodological aspects, such as the detailed network design of the developed deep learning model and comparative verification using other deep learning techniques. I intend to use this feedback as a reference for future research development.
I would like to take this opportunity to express my gratitude to Professor Fukuda for providing me with this valuable opportunity to present at an international conference.
