Traffic data is a set of qualitative or quantitative variables which contain the information about persons , objects , or systems . In transportation systems , traffic data play a critical role for telling the movements and status of travelers , vehicles , and infrastructures . Tons of traffic sensors are deployed in the city for collecting real-time traffic data to support traffic analysis control , and management . Advanced transportation data science mainly focuses on exploring new knowledge and theories for enhancing the methods of traffic data acquisition , processing , and modelling . There are three research questions within the scope of advanced transportation data science that needs to be answered :
1 ) what information can we extract from large-scale traffic data to help with improving traffic control and management ,
2 ) how to improve the existing traffic sensing technologies and methods to enhance data quality and sensing efficiency , and
3 ) what other technologies can be created or utilized to provide novel traffic data sources for improving traffic analysis and management .
GFRP Structures and GFRP-Concrete Composite in Civil Applications
Dr Kong , Sih Ying Lecturer PhD
Research expertise : Composite Structures , GFRP Structures , Phase Change Materials , Concrete Structures , Finite Element Analysis of Structures Under Static and Impact Loading
Pultruded glass fiber reinforced polymer ( GFRP ) composites exhibit properties such as lightweight , high specific strength , high durability , corrosion resistance and low maintenance which could contribute to sustainable development in the construction industry . The beam-column connections for pultruded GFRP sections require further research in order to develop an effective moment resisting beam column connection to increase the rigidity and robustness of the GFRP frame system . GFRP beams can be connected to columns by adhesive bonding and mechanical fastening . Bolt joints are preferred over bonded joints due to a simple preparation process , expedient installation or dismantling and lower cost . GFRP-concrete composites are a cost effective solution for civil engineering infrastructures exposed to corrosive environments . The interaction between GFRP and concrete is critical to improving the strength of the composite structures .
