Conference [Call for Abstracts - by 31 March 2021]

31st European Safety and Reliability Conference | Angers, France -- Special session on Safety and Reliability of Intelligent Transportation Systems

Date: 19-23 September 2021

Description: This special session welcomes papers that address any safety and reliability problem of intelligent transportation systems. We hope to discuss various issues including but not limited to system modelling, prediction and estimation, system maintenance, and the use of artificial intelligence approaches. Papers could be dealing with one transportation mode or an integration of a few. Both analytical and application oriented works will be considered.

Motivation: Transportation systems have become verycomplex today, with many different modes of travelling. Transportation systems are also becoming more intelligent with the adaptation of AI technology and approaches.Safety and reliability will be an important and difficult problem. There is a need to have more discussion and further researchon this problem, especially as transportation systems are safety critical and at the same time affect our daily life.

Objective: Papers focus on different aspects of safety and reliability related to transportation system will be welcomedin this session. We hope to have both academic research paper and application studies. It will provide authors an opportunity to listen to each other.

Organizers: Professor Min XIE and Professor Kwok TSUI

    Workshop

    State of Art Review of the High Speed Rail Systems

    Date:     11 December 2017 (Monday)
    Time:     3:00pm to 4:30pm
    Venue:  P7303, Yeung Kin Man Academic Building (AC1)

    Abstract:
    The modern High Speed Rail (HSR) has been developed for more than 50 years. Although the basic elements of the technology resemble conventional rail transport, there are numerous major engineering differences and challenges.

    This presentation reviews the unique features of a modern HSR system with particular emphasis on its subsystems of trains, propulsion system, signaling system, communication & controlling system.

    About the Speaker:
    In spring of 2010, Dr. Kao traveled to the United States from Taiwan and taught "High Speed Rail Engineering"ɽ at University of Illinois at Urbana- Champaign (UIUC). This is the first such class has been taught in the North America. Ever since then, Dr. Kao expands his HSR courses at UIUC to a series of three coving "Engineering", "Planning" & "Construction & Management" aspects of a HSR system. These three classes reflect his 36 year experience in participating in the planning, design, construction & operation of Taiwan HSR project and the research work he did on the subject of HSR systems. Besides in the US, these three classes also were taught in Hong Kong, China, Thailand, Taiwan and India.
