A big congratulation for Xinyuan’s PhD confirmation!
Xinyuan’s PhD’s confirmation seminar was held in the Suzhou campus on 4th July 2016. Prof. Graham Currie as a chair and Prof. Hangqian Wu/Dr. Kun An as panel members played an important role in helping the Xinyuan’s phd journey. I also express thanks to our Masters’ students who are interested in doing research with our group.
Well done all.
I invite Professor Graham Currie to deliver the speech to the Suzhou local governments and companies in relation to the public transport systems in metropolises and some case studies on metro, tram, and BRT systems on June 28, 2016 at CCDI.
As Graham is one of leading experts in public transportation, approximately 200 audience attended the event to gain some insights on recent issues of public transportation.
Thank Graham to make a great presentation and another thank CCDI for supporting financially this event.
A big congrats!!
The transport department in the SEU-Monash Joint Graduate School is awarded the Best Award of Jiangsu province of 2014 cohort students. This award recognizes our transport class in Suzhou is the best in Jiangsu province in 2016.
Well done for our students and Terry and Graham!!!
Professor Graham Currie will deliver the speech to the Suzhou local governments and companies in relation to the public transport systems in metropolises and some case studies on metro, tram, and BRT systems on June 28, 2016 at CCDI. For more information please refer to the link below
Master students at Joint Graduate School are eligible to enroll in the Masters by Research at Monash University right after completion of Monash teaching units.
The students who enroll in this program are required to submit thesis written in English. The thesis will be also recognized by South East University.
Although the students cannot meet the requirement set by Monash University at the end, they will get degrees from Monash and SEU if they submit the thesis to SEU in Chinese.

Road rage is aggressive or angry behavior by a driver of an automobile or other road vehicle. Such behavior might include rude gestures, verbal insults, deliberately driving in an unsafe or threatening manner, or making threats. Road rage can lead to altercations, assaults, and collisions that result in injuries and even deaths. It can be thought of as an extreme case of aggressive driving.
Based on the characteristics, we analyse the road rage behaviours and suggest the control method.
A potential in ITS application to predict urban railway level crossing delays
The Victorian government has embarked on an eight year program to grade separate 50 level crossings around metropolitan Melbourne at an estimated cost of $AUD 5 to 6 B. A primary motivation of this program is to reduce delays to private motorists, freight vehicles and public transport services. As is common in an urban context, the existing level crossings are protected by boom barriers that control road traffic movements to ensure safe rail operation. Some of those crossings are effectively closed to traffic for up to three quarters of the peak hour. While this extensive capital works program will reduce delays at those locations, around 125 level crossings will be left untreated by the current grade separation project. This research examines the potential for Intelligent Transport Systems to reduce delays at urban railway level crossings. The characteristics of the current control system are examined to identify factors that contribute to delays to road users and a simulation model is used to model how ITS technology could be used reduce crossing closure times. The model highlights the value of improved train speed data and more accurate data on whether a particular train is to stop at a station adjacent to the crossing or run express through the level crossing.
The program: structure – 9 main areas, 5 year program with funding ~$5M
