MoU was signed with Hong Kong Productivity Council (HKPC) for Prof. Charles WONG's project
Prof. Charles Man-sing WONG, Professor of the Department of Land Surveying and Geo-Informatics, Associate Dean of the Faculty of Construction and Environment and Associate Director of the Research Institute for Sustainable Urban Development (RISUD) has been awarded HK$5.3 million for his project titled “A study on public transport re-routing, with a healthy ‘Wait-to-Ride’ trip mode for optimizing public transportation routes and improving traffic congestion”.
The project aims to analyse the routes and stops of road public transportation. A spatio-temporal environmental database will be developed for providing suggestions on reorganising public transport routes in over-served areas with duplicated routes, with the aim of easing road traffic congestion and enhancing the efficiency of the road network.
