ECoSim: Data Efficient Fine-Tuning for Controllable Traffic Simulation

Yu-Hsiang Chen, Wei-Jer Chang, Yi-Ting Chen, Masayoshi Tomizuka

Controllable traffic simulation is critical for testing autonomous driving systems, yet existing approaches often require retraining large generative models with extensive annotated data. We introduce a lightweight control adaptation framework that enables multi-modal controllability (sketch, latent behavior codes, and text) for pretrained state-of-the-art diffusion and autoregressive traffic models. By modulating intermediate features through identity-initialized FiLM layers, our method efficiently adds new control modalities while preserving the base model's generative prior. Evaluated on Waymo Open Sim Agents Challenge, our approach demonstrates strong controllability with less than 1% of the paired control data. Through context-aware condition transfer, our framework enables counterfactual scenario generation and long-tail synthesis while maintaining stable closed-loop driving realism and safety. Our framework unlocks new possibilities for controllable traffic simulation, enabling targeted scenario generation through lightweight adaptation of pretrained generative models.

Optimal Transport Image Representation and Deep Covariance Alignment (CORAL) for Control Valve Stiction Detection

Seshu K. Damarla

Control valve stiction is a common cause of unwanted oscillations and poor control-loop performance in industrial processes. Data-driven methods can automatically detect stiction, but models trained purely on simulated data often struggle to generalize to real industrial control…
