Q&A session |
| March 19th Hanoi Special Lecture |
Lecturer: Dr. Ta Ngoc Binh (Deputy manager, Construction Investment Economic Research Department, Institute of Construction Economics, Ministry of Construction)
A main member of the research team of Vietnam BIM introduction
promotion plan. He is in his current position after working as a
deputy chief of the specialized consulting section of the BIM
guidance committee. |

Theme
"Latest information on BIM utilization in Vietnam construction industry"
In Vietnam, governments and contractors started to use BIM in design, construction and management of construction investment projects. With the progress of urbanization, they are making efforts to improve the infrastructure including transportation, but at present BIM is used for limited purposes. In this lecture, he will explain the outline of BIM, its benefits and issues, and the solutions via BIM implementation in general construction including transportation in Vietnam.

| April 16th Seoul Special Lecture |
Lecturer: Ph.D Suk-ki, Lee (Researcher, Korean Institute of Construction Technology)
Dr. Suk-ki Lee finished his Ph.D. program in the Department of Transportation at Dankook University. He is also the Director of the Korean Transportation Association, a consultant at the National Transportation Science and Technology Institute, and a member of the deliberation committee (Goyang City, Gimpo City), Traffic Impact Assessment/Traffic Policy. He received a number of awards including a commendation from the Ministry of Land/Infrastructure and Transport of the Republic of Korea and the Mayor of Goyang City, and several patents from Korea Intellectual Property Office for his inventions that promote road and traffic safety, the most recent one being a patent for a shock absorption system for large vehicles.

Theme
"Utilization of UC-win/Road VILS in the study of L4 autonomous driving"
He explains the performance test that uses VILS as one of the
technologies of road infrastructure supporting autonomous
vehicles when they have problems due to rain, fog, or snow. In
addition, he will talk about the configuration of the
performance verification system for the integrated traffic
safety infrastructure technology and how to build VILS using
UC-win/Road. The future research plans using VILS, such as
ergonomic analysis of the driving characteristics of autonomous
vehicles will also be introduced.

| April 20th Shanghai Special Lecture |
Lecturer: Prof. Kostas Terzidis (College of Design and Innovation, Tongji University)
After he worked at Harvard University, he is now a director at the Algorithmic design Lab. in Tongji University. His field of expertise is language and computation, and his study on "e-parking simulation" is the base of the FORUM8's vacant parking lot search & navigation system named "VR-Cloud® Parking NAVI". He is also the CEO of Organic Parking which developed the parking optimization system using smartphones. |

Theme
"Flexible Traffic Lights: Using permutations to improve traffic management at intersections with AI"
Intersections are important points in the cities traffic because they can increase or decrease the flow of traffic depending on their timing. With the use of AI techniques it is possible to predict the flow of traffic. However, such techniques are not transparent and therefore are hard to rationalize. A system was constructed that use permutations to optimize the timing of traffic lights at intersections with AI prediction. In brief, the system replaces stochastic prediction with exhaustive permutations. Out of these permutations, patterns are sought that define more accurately the flow of traffic making prediction more accurate, traceable and far-reaching.

| April 23rd Taipei Special Lecture |
Lecturer: Prof. Tsai Bor-Wen (Department of Geography, National Taiwan University)
A professor of the Department of Geography, a collaborative
researcher of the GIS Research Center. In the past, he was a
visiting researcher in the Department of Spatial Data Science,
Ministry of Science and Technology, and a chairman of the geological
information society in Taiwan.
Theme
"Construction and utilization of 3-dimensional GIS system in Taiwan"
Since 2019, the Taiwan government has promoted the construction of 3D national land infrastructure maps and 3D high-precision maps in order to correspond to diversified applications of smart life such as smart cities, disaster prevention, disaster relief operation, and autonomous driving. In this lecture, he will explain the construction contents of 3D GIS and the expected schedule as well as GIS utilization methods and future developments. |

Lecturer: Mr. HSIAO,YUAN-SHENG (Engineer & Leader, Building Engineering
Division, Construction and Planning Agency Ministry of the Interior)
After studying the civil engineering in the Master's course at National Taiwan University, he worked as a civil servant and experienced the engineer leader and department leader.
Theme
"BIM utilization and future prospects in urban infrastructure project"
His department handles urban infrastructure projects such as
utility tunnel, sewage system business, urban road, and central
public construction. It is using BIM technologies to build, manage,
and utilize engineering information smartly through the whole
project life cycle (including each step of planning, design,
construction, and operation). In this lecture he will introduce the related
achievements and future prospects. |

| April 27th Qingdao Special Lecture |
Lecturer: Mr. Weihan, Zhang (Researcher, RIOH)
The representative of the driving simulator lab. He joined many national big research projects and international scientific projects and engaged in the formulation of technical standards in the transportation industry. By using driving simulation, he also helped to review and rationalize designs in national significant projects such as Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge, Shenzhen Zhongshan Overpass, Humen Bridge, and Beijing Winter
Olympics. |
|

Theme
"Use of 3DVR driving simulator for road design and road optimization"
In this lecture, benefits, utilization, analysis method, and case studies of driving simulator for highway design will be explained. Requirements and improvements for driving simulators to optimize road design will also be reviewed. |
|
| May 11th Sydney Special Lecture |
Lecturer: Dr. Peter Stasinopoulos (Senior Lecturer in the School of Engineering, RMIT University / Member of RMIT’s Cyber-Physical and Autonomous Systems Research Group)
Dr. Peter’s expertise is in systems modelling and optimisation. He applies the approaches and modelling tools of systems dynamics, life cycle assessment, and whole-system design to products and processes in the transport and manufacturing sectors to optimize their sustainability impacts. He has about 40 book, book chapter, journal, and conference publications in these fields. He supervises several PhD students whose projects are on autonomous vehicles and logistics. |
Theme
"Surprising barriers and drivers of AV adoption"
He will summarize RMIT’s system dynamics modelling related to autonomous-vehicle adoption, with a focus on two issues: (1) the potential impacts of cyber security on AV adoption and (2) the potential impacts of AV adoption on greenhouse gas emissions. The RMIT team intends to develop those models further by using our driving simulator to conduct human experiments to fill data gaps about user behaviour, perceptions, and preferences. |
