On June 22, Assistant Professor Chen Zhibin of New York University Shanghai Branch was invited to visit our base for exchanges.

On the afternoon of the 22nd, Assistant Professor Chen Zhibin and his entourage visited the car network and smart car test site of our base Lishui Campus, on the "automatic driving vehicle lane", "electric vehicle dynamic wireless charging technology", "the traffic network under the mixed traffic flow environment" Mode, etc., and in-depth exchanges and discussions with young  teachers, doctoral students and master students.

On the afternoon of the 23rd, Assistant Professor Chen Zhibin gave a special report entitled "Path Controlling of Automated Vehicles for System Optimum on Transportation Networks with Heterogeneous Traffic Stream" in the base conference room. This report shows Professor Chen's research results in the past six months and is the optimal autonomous vehicle routing control system for mixed traffic flow systems. The study establishes the optimal intelligent network vehicle path control mechanism considering the system optimization, and draws the optimal path based on the linear programming model and determines the minimum controlled vehicle ratio required to achieve the optimal system. At the same time, combined with theoretical derivation and numerical simulation method, the related properties of the minimum controlled vehicle ratio under different traffic conditions are studied. After the special report, Professor Chen and the participating teachers and students had a heated discussion on topics such as “New Mixed Traffic Flow Characteristics and Control Mechanism” and “Macro Middle View Micro-Level Unmanned Vehicle Control”. The content of the report was highly praised by the teachers and students. More than 20 young teachers and graduate students from the base participated in the seminar.
