Prof. Yong Xia Secures HK$14.9 Million from Smart Traffic Fund 2023

Congratulations to Prof. Yong Xia, whose project titled “Digital Twin-based Long-span Bridge Health Monitoring” has been awarded $14.9 million funding by the Smart Traffic Fund 2023.  The project aims to develop a digital twin-based long-span bridge health monitoring platform by using the Tsing Ma Bridge as the testbed. Automatic traffic monitoring system, realistic bridge fatigue damage assessment and prediction system, vehicle-barrier collision monitoring system and vehicle safety assessment system in high winds will be developed in this project. Sensors on the bridges, cutting-edge artificial intelligence (AI) techniques, finite element analysis, and Bridge Information Modelling (BIM) will be also integrated into the monitoring platform.

The Transport Department announced the funding results of the Smart Traffic Fund 2023 on 22 November 2023, with five projects being approved with a total grant of around $49.7 million. The Fund aims to provide funding support to local organisations and enterprises for conducting research and application of innovation and technology with the objectives of enhancing commuting convenience, enhancing efficiency of the road network or road space, and improving driving safety.
