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.

The one in purple is the most frequent bike users in Suzhou in 2016. This is one of the ways Suzhou gov. encourages people to use more active transportation.

2017 Monash public speech in Suzhou

I am very thrilled to arrange that our two professors make great research presentations to public in Suzhou. The venue is organized by the Suzhou highway association and the event is cohosted by CCDI.

This year, more than 100 people from industry, government and universities participated in this event and shared their knowledge and ideas to solve many traffic problems locally and internationally.

This is 2nd Monash public speech organized following Graham’s speech last year. This event promotes our Monash Suzhou program’s reputation in China.

I as a director of the China program  thank again two professors, hosts and guests today for making this even successful.

In addition, Monash ITS is happy to appoint our research partners to Monash associates. Three members are as following from left.

  • Mr. Hanzhong Pan,  Deputy Director from Traffic Management Research Institute of Public Security Ministry of China.
  • Ms. Yuanqiu Bao, Vice president from CCDI(SuZhou) Exploration & Design Consultant CO.,Ltd.
  • Mr. Zuoming Yin , Deputy Director from Gusu Suzhou Public Security Bureau

I am also so pleased that students from school of urban rail transportation, Soochow University and our students get along with each other.

 

I also presented what my research team has done last 3 years including safety anaysis, illegal parking app, and shared bike programs.

 

My phd student, Mr Gu plays a very important role in this event as an interpreter.

Dr. Zhang made a presentation about the projects CCDI has conducted.

Prof Geoff Rose makes a presentation about our transportation systems with a new horizon that is equivalent to biology.

I am very happy to host our ITS director Prof. Geoff Rose and Prof. Hai Vu to our Joint Graduate School in Suzhou. I also thank my students for hospitalizing them with warm welcome.

Through a meeting with students, we all get to know more each other and we collect some suggestions from the students to improve our China program.

Successful completion of Wuxi project

Our research project on road rage funded by an external source, “Wuxi traffic management research institute of the ministry of public security” has been successfully completed with the final presentation.
This is the first ever project we granted in JGS and many brilliant students are involved in this to deliver a good outcome.
I deeply thank Catherine, Kevin, Philip and Kai for leading this project and making it a successful completion.
Since Monash ITS made a mutual relationship with this institute recently, I hope we collaborate on many interesting research topics in near future.

 

Collaboration meeting with Partners in Suzhou

Prof. Terry Liu and his research team from SEU and Dr. Inhi Kim and his research team visited 2 transport and urban planning companies and one department of Suzhou urban planning. We seek a mutual collaboration in transport network development, big data, public transportation planning, and lots more.
