报告摘要：
Various stochastic models and advanced techniques have been developed in recent years for intelligent transportation systems (ITS) with taking account of the second order (i.e. variance and covariance) of travel times. This presentation will give an overview of recent development of ITS in Hong Kong together with further extensions. It will cover various research and development in reliability-based ITS for modeling the effects of travel time uncertainty. Future research on this important topic will also be discussed together with the related research works that have recently been carried out in the Hong Kong Polytechnic University.
Ir Prof William H.K. Lam is a Chair Professor of Civil and Transportation Engineering and Head of the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the Hong Kong Polytechnic University. Prof. Lam is currently the President of the Hong Kong Society for Transportation Studies (www.hksts.org) and the Past Chairman of the Logistics and Transportation Discipline Panel, the Hong Kong Institution of Engineers (www.hkie.org.hk). He is the Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Advanced Transportation and the Co-Editors-in-Chief of the SCI Journal – Transportmetrica A: Transport Science. Prof. Lam is also the Convenor of the International Advisory Committee of the International Symposium on Transportation and Traffic Theory (www.isttt22.org). He has over 35-year professional experience in research and practice for planning of transport infrastructures. Prof. Lam has published more than 250 SCI international journal papers together with 70 consultancy reports. His research interests include: transport network modeling and infrastructure planning, travel demand forecasts and risk assessment, ITS technology and planning, public transport and pedestrian studies.
