Prof. S.C. Wong from University of HongKong and Dr. Inhi Kim are invited by Prof. Keechoo Choi from Ajoo University in Korea. Prof. Wong gave a great insight of Big Data. The title was Golden Era of Big Data for Transportation Research” where he used HongKong taxi data of several years to analyse traffic speed and travel time in a urban context.

Prof. Wong and Choi are Editors in Chief at International Journal of Sustainable Transportation (Ranked 3 in Transportation). Also Prof. Choi play a critical role as a president of Korean Society of Transportation.

I am pleased to announce that many research papers authored by our Master students are accepted by “The 17th COTA conference International Conference of Transportation Professionals (CICTP2017) ” which will be held during July 7-9, 2017, in Shanghai, China.

1. Understanding road rage Insights from a synthesis of research by Xiaohui Xu, Hanyu Lin, Zihao Liu (All 2015) 
2. Social media application for illegal parking problem by Bo Wang(2015)
3. Modelling asymmetric and non-additive P&R schemes by Xiyuan Chen(2013, Phd)
4. Analysis of Public Bicycle Sharing Network based on Complex Network Theory by Chunliang Wu (2015) and Yang Shao (2015)
5. Perspectives of opening a gated community and its effect by Chaoqun Song(2014), Tian-Qi Gu(PhD)

6. Analysis of Vehicle Stop-And-Go Driving Behaviors At Signalized Intersections by Sicong Zhu from Beijing Jiatong Univerity

I expect more papers are on the way to be accepted and will update more shortly. Well done all

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.
