A big congrats for all my students who graduated SEU-Monash Joint Masters Program. The graduation ceremony takes place in the Intercontinental hotel, Suzhou, China. I hope you all have a big success in your near future!!!
I am pleased to invite Miss Zhe He from Transport Innovation to give a special lecture to my students of 2017 cohort. Transport Innovation focuses on big data analysis and simulation in Suzhou. TUPA and Transport Innovation agreed to collaborate in research and development mutually.
Mr. Tianqi Gu has successfully passed his confirmation.
Title: A multi-function framework for bike-share system’s plan, operation and application.
Summary: Bike-share system (BSs) has existed for 50 years and experienced rapid development in recent years. However, researches of interchange between BSs and public transit is fragmentary, while the methodology were mainly survey-based. Inner analysis of trip and user patterns have seldom been investigated based on massive trip data. In this study, a multi-function framework is meant to build up for BSs plan, operation and application. Three key tasks are included: a) A before- and after- change study of new transits impact on existing BSs using massive data analysis wihle trip pattern new index is presented. b) Correlation study to understand the impact of natural factors, land use as well as users’ demographic backgrounds. c) An estimation metho dology to estimate short-term demand and mid-term demand.
Bio: Tianqi Gu received his Master’s degree in Transportation planning and management from Southeast University, China in 2010 and his Bachelor’s degree in Transportation Engineering from SEU too in 2007. He commenced his PhD at Monash University in Dec. 2016 under the supervision of Dr. Inhi Kim and Prof. Currie Graham.
On behalf of Emanuele, Chai, Poh and myself, I am very happy to announce that in 2018 we will launch a co-supervised PhD program between the Clayton and Sunway sites of Monash Engineering.
The objectives of this co-supervised PhD program are twofold:
a) to provide an opportunity for PhD students to have a genuine international PhD experience by spending time on both sites (in the spirit of the Monash-IITB Academy program), and
b) to foster greater research links between researchers on the two Engineering campuses
The PhD students will be enrolled in Sunway and will nominally spend 2yrs at Sunway and 1yr at Clayton. The preference is for the 2nd yr of candidature to be spent at Clayton (after the students have passed confirmation of candidature) but this is flexible depending on the project needs. The program will be marketed in Malaysia as a premium package and the PhD stipend will be higher than the normal rate during the time in Sunway. During the year in Australia, the candidates will receive the Clayton stipend of 26-27k AUD p/a. The objective is to attract the very best students from Malaysia and abroad to participate. The students must be supervised by at least one supervisor from each site.
The plan is to advertise in Malaysia around mid-2018 with the first intake anticipated to be between Aug-Oct 2018. Five scholarships have been planned in the first instance. The timing has been set in line with the academic year in Malaysia to maximise the chances of recruiting the top students.
Congratulations Kai!!
Kai joined the research team last November 2017 and today successfully completed his phd confirmation. From now on, he can be called a Monash PhD student!!!
Kai has made a good progress on his research on free-floating car sharing. Good luck with his rest of research journey!!
Please join me in welcoming our new phd student, Wenhua Jiang. 
Her research topic is short-term rail passenger flow prediction sponsored by RMCRC, Australia.
Papers submitted to TRB 2018 are accepted. The list is following:
- Optimal Sitting and Sizing of the Remote Park-and-Ride Scheme in the Multimodal Transport Network” by TRB’s Standing Committee on Transportation Network Modeling (ADB30). – Xinyuan Chen (PhD student)
- More are coming
I am delighted to announce that Shelley finally is conferred DOCTOR!!! A big congratulation on her great achievement.
Sincere thanks to Xiaoying(Shelley) achieving this wonderful result.
The 17th COTA conference International Conference of Transportation Professionals (CICTP2017) will be held during July 7-9, 2017, in Shanghai, China, jointly organized by Tongji University and Chinese Overseas Transportation Association (COTA). Thank you, my students for attending the conference to make wonderful presentations. I hope to see some of you in Beijing next year again!!!
