Coauthors of the award-winning paper (from left to right): Dr Fangni Zhang (HKU), Dr Zhuoye Zhang (HKU) and Dr Wei Liu (PolyU AAE).
Dr Liu Wei, Associate Head and Associate Professor at AAE, and his team have been honoured with the Best Paper Award at The 14th International Workshop on Computational Transportation Science, CTS 2023. Their paper, titled "Modelling the vehicle parking, charging and vehicle-to-grid services in the era of electric vehicles," stood out among a competitive field of approximately 400 conference participants.
The research, partly supported by the Guangdong Basic and Applied Basic Research Fund (廣東省基礎與應用基礎研究項目-面上項目), addresses the pressing challenge of inadequate infrastructure development and service support systems for electric vehicles. Under the project "Modelling and managing parking, vehicle charging and vehicle-to-grid services in the era of electric vehicles (電動車出行、停車、充電以及反向輸電的綜合規劃與管理)", the team aims to comprehensively examine travel, parking, charging, and vehicle-to-grid (V2G) services for electric vehicle users.
The emerging V2G technologies allow for bi-directional electricity transmission between vehicles and the power grid, enabling electric vehicles to serve as temporary electricity storage units. By exploring these cutting-edge advancements, Dr Liu's team seeks to provide decision support for the integrated operation and management of urban transportation and power systems.
The recognition of their outstanding performance with the Best Paper Award underscores the significance and impact of their research. This achievement not only reflects the dedication and expertise of Dr Liu Wei and his team but also highlights the commitment of our institution to driving innovation in the field of electric vehicles and sustainable transportation.
We extend our warmest congratulations to Dr Liu Wei and his team for this remarkable accomplishment.
