LectureAbstract:

As the Internet has changed the way people interact with information, cyber-physical systems is changing the way people interact with the engineering system.Cyber-physical systems integrate sensing, computing, control and network systems to the physical objects and infrastructurewhichare connected to the Internet and terminals. In transport, the cyber-physical systems provide the necessary infrastructure for connection of the vehicle, infrastructure, people and goods in a safe and efficient road transport system. In the report, Professor Song Houbing will introduce the results of his research in the cyber-physical systems for traffic information.
