We are pleased to announce that a Smart Traffic Fund of HK$2.74 million was recently granted by the government Transport Department to a project led by Prof. Stephen Jia WANG, Professor of School of Design and Founding Director of the Research Centre for Future Caring Mobility.

 

The awarded project ‘An Empathetic Navigation System Design Based on Drivers’ Emotion Inference from Traffic Contextual Data’ aims to develop a novel emotion-aware navigation system for drivers. It is also the first Design-led project winning the fund.

It is no doubt a piece of exciting news to Prof. Wang and PolyU Design. ‘The grant represents a recognition of our vision on “Caring Mobility” - interdisciplinary, cutting-edge, STEAM (STEM plus Art and Design) and innovative design approach with an emphasis on living, caring and wellbeing under various scenarios of mobility,’ Prof. Wang said. Taking this opportunity, he would like to thank the continuous support from the industry partners XPeng AeroHT (匯天) and XPeng Auto Group.
