Transportation and Smart Development: Transdisciplinary Research and Cross-sectoral Practices
Research fields and contents
He promotes transportation-centered transdisciplinary research for smart development (international collaboration, nature-friendly, resource integration, human-centered development, etc.). In the context of the research and practice of built environment and smart technologies, he studies the relationship between transportation and smart development from multiple spatial scales (community, city, regional, international, etc.), aiming to derive the wisdom of transportation that contributes to the construction of China's transportation powerhouse and the world's development. Focusing on future cities and transportation systems, his concrete research topics include, but are not limited to, smart mobility, multi-network integration of transportation and energy systems, integration of comprehensive transportation system and the built environment, and health/medical-engineering integration.
Major achievements
As a top-2% world-class scientist (career-based, announced by Stanford Univ. and Elsevier), he developed various inter-/trans-disciplinary theories and approaches for supporting cross-sectoral policy decisions and demand-oriented technological innovations, which have been applied in the contexts of urban and regional planning, energy, environment, public health, tourism, risks/crisis etc. He has published more than 500 peer-reviewed papers, including those accepted in Nature sub-journals, Trans Res Part A/B/C/D, Transport Policy, J. of Transport Geography, Energy, Science of the Total Environment, Sustainable Cities and Society, Tourism Management, Public Health etc. His research was awarded for 12 times by international journals/conferences (e.g., Best Paper Award of the 21st ITS World Congress). He serves as a reviewer of several ten SCI/SSCI journals, an editorial member of more than ten internationally well-recognized journals, the editor-in-chief of Asian Transport Studies (the top journal of Eastern Asia Society of Transportation Studies (EASTS); 2012-2016), one of the five board member of International Association for Travel Behaviour Research (IATBR), chair of International Choice Modelling Conference (ICMC) 2019 in Kobe, Japan, chair of International e-Conference on Pandemics and Transport Policy by World Conference on Transport Research Society (WCTRS), the co-chair of WCTRS COVID-19 Task Force, a member of Scientific Committee of World Transport Convention (WTC), and the leader of Working Group “Electric Road Systems” belonging to the Technical Committee “Road Infrastructure for Road Transport Decarbonisation”. He has been a member of The Engineering Academy of Japan since 2021.
