Green Transportation

A big achievement on research!

Monash university, Institute of Advanced Vehicle technology and JITRI secured research funding of 4 million RMB( AU$ 760,000). The project title is Green Travel Models in Smart Cities: Coordination studies and Integration Platform Project.

The research is led by Dr. Inhi Kim, Prof. Terry Liu from SEU and Prof. Yifan Dai from THU.

This 3 year project, Monash is planning to recruit 4 phd candidates doing research on a variety of sub topics. I look forward to working on this project and making a great impact on traffic problems.

Subtopics are as follows;

  1. Behavior analysis and demand forecasting based on multi-modal green travel
  2. System optimization and resource allocation based on multi-modal green travel
  3. Traffic control and demand management based on multi-modal green travel
  4. induced travel based on traffic big data
  5. Key technologies of cooperative vehicle-infrastructure systems.

A special guest lecture from CCDI

I thank to Michelle Bao, a Vice-president of CCDI for having a wonderful time with my students, a cohort of 2016. Michelle is one of our Monash associates who supports in many various ways. Giving a lecture is one of annual events. This year, Michelle discussed with the students what industry expects from students. The students have a lot of questions in particularly hiring process in CCDI.

Suzhou Shared Bike Promotion

Our research group is invited by Suzhou Urban Planning Ministry to the Shared Bike Program in Suzhou. Dr. Kim made an opening speech on the Suzhou Shared Bike project that will be conducted with Suzhou Urban Planning Ministry, CCDI and Yongan.

Mr. Gu helps Dr. Kim interpret the opening speech.

The CEO of Youngan which operates the Suzhou shared bikes docked with more than 2000 stations across Suzhou. He introduced a new designed bike to public. This bike has been rolled out recently in Suzhou.

Yongan also introduces new Apps for uses to use in a more convenient way. A new bike path was also released to public so that tourists and citizen can enjoy a beautiful Suzhou scenery using the shared bike.
