A project led by RISUD member has received funding of HK$7.04 million. With a focus on bus emergency braking solutions, the project aims to enhance driving safety.
Led by Prof. SZE Nang Ngai, Member of Research Institute for Sustainable Urban Development (RISUD), Otto Poon Charitable Foundation Smart Cities Research Institute (SCRI) and Research Centre for Digital Transformation of Tourism (RCDTT), and Associate Professor of the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, the project “Bus Automatic Emergency Braking System Designed for Hong Kong Road and Traffic Conditions” secured funding of approximately HK$7.04 million for 24 months. This project aims to design an Automatic Emergency Braking System (AEBS) for buses tailored to road and traffic conditions in Hong Kong. It will analyse traffic accident records and real-time bus trajectory data collected during shadow tests to evaluate AEBS performance and its effectiveness in reducing collisions while ensuring passenger safety. The research deliverables include providing empirical evidence for bus operators to formulate AEBS deployment strategies in Hong Kong and the enhancement of overall bus safety.

可持續城市發展研究院成員獲智慧交通基金支持 開展一項目促進駕駛安全
一項由可持續城市發展研究院成員領導的科研項目獲智慧交通基金資助逾港幣704萬元。項目聚焦巴士自動緊急煞車系統，旨在提升駕駛安全。
由可持續城市發展研究院、潘樂陶慈善基金智慧城市研究院、旅遊業數字化轉型研究中心成員，土木及環境工程學系副教授施能藝教授帶領的項目「為香港道路及交通情境而設計的巴士自動緊急煞車系統」，獲資助約港幣704萬元，為期24個月。此項目旨在為香港道路及交通情境研究及設計一套巴士自動緊急煞車系統，並將分析交通意外紀錄及透過影子測試期間的實時巴士行車軌跡數據，評估自動緊急煞車系統在香港不同道路及交通情景下的各項表現，包括對減少碰撞事故、保障乘客安全等效益。研究成果將有助巴士營辦商制定相關的自動緊急煞車系統方案並提供實證依據，從而提升整體的巴士安全。
