Abstract

Printed millimeter wave (mmW) electronics have been of high interest in the field of communications for some time now due to the potential ability to fabricate mmW systems that utilize 3-Dimension Heterogeneous Integration (3DHI) to improve performance beyond traditional systems. Here, in this paper, a method for fabricating transferable mmW structures via aerosol-jet printing (AJP) is presented. A PDMS stamp assisted liftoff procedure is developed to separate the printed part from a rigid printing support surface and apply it to an adhesive target surface. Several microstrip (MS) line structures are demonstrated to characterize the effect of stamp transfer on the RF performance of the printed circuits. The effects of printed vias on RF probe pads and shifts in the resonant frequencies of a Beatty standard line after transfer are considered and characterized using S-parameter measurements.

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.
