Time: Friday, October 13th, 10:00 AM

Location: First Floor Lecture Hall, Academic Exchange Center, North Campus Main Campus

II. Lecture Content

Lecturer: Xu Meng

Abstract: Starting from the current development status of smart public transportation in Chinese cities, this lecture summarizes the research status of smart public transportation, focusing on aspects such as smart public transportation passenger flow analysis, smart public transportation operation research, smart public transportation network design and optimization, and smart public transportation service evaluation, and points out the focus of existing research. Building on this foundation, the lecture further analyzes existing research from the perspectives of smart public transportation passenger flow analysis, smart public transportation operation, smart public transportation network design and optimization, and smart public transportation service evaluation, and identifies the shortcomings in each area. It analyzes and prospects the future development trends of smart public transportation from the aspects of intelligent identification and prediction of passenger characteristics, smart public transportation operation in complex scenarios, smart public transportation network design and optimization, and smart public transportation service evaluation, and proposes representative research questions for each area.
