On March 7th, 2025, the 3DTraffic team members conducted a research seminar at Chulalongkorn University. This event is held as a pre-event before the 3DTraffic Project officially started, to introduce each other’s research works and areas of specialization. Some of the members had the chance to present their previous research in the transportation field. The seminar was chaired by Dr. Toru Seo. Prof. Daisuke Fukuda delivered an opening remarks during the event, and it was concluded with a closing remarks from Prof. Kasem Choocharukul.
The full title of presentations presented during the seminar are as follows:
- “Understanding large-scale traffic flow using model-based and data-driven dimension reduction: with COVID-19 and Olympic-Paralympic case study” by Dr. Toru Seo (Institute of Science Tokyo)
- “Utilising GPS trajectories for traffic management” by Dr. Garavig Tanaksaranond (Chulalongkorn University)
- “Tokyo Metropolitan Area Activity-Travel Patterns Simulator (T-ACT): Model Development, Calibration, and Application” by Dr. Daisuke Fukuda (The University of Tokyo)
- “Exploring human mobility in Bangkok” by Dr. Veera Muangsin (Chulalongkorn University)
- “Capacity drop at sag and tunnel bottlenecks and countermeasures in Japanese Expressways” by Dr. Kentaro Wada (University of Tsukuba)
- “Assessment of Green House Gas Emission Reduction Potential through Transition from Gasoline-Powered to Electric Motorcycles: A Case Study Utilizing SUMO Traffic Simulator and HBEFA Emission Model” by Dr. Chaodit Aswakul (Chulalongkorn University)
- “Adaptive traffic signal control using an interpretable reinforcement learning method” by Dr. Somporn Sahachaiseree (The University of Tokyo)
The seminar was also broadcast via Zoom to other members who could not attend the offline seminar at Chulalongkorn University.
Throughout this seminar, each attendee can learn about the know-how and key takeaways from case studies in Thailand and Japan, as a basis for their research work for 3DTraffic project. We thank all presenters, participants, and those who are involved in making this event successful!
* 3DTraffic is the abbreviation of our project title, Project for Data Driven Dynamic Transport Management in Emerging Metropolis for Climate Change Mitigation, which will take Bangkok as the study case.
