Smart Traffic Fund approves four projects
*****************************************
The four approved projects in the latest batch cover: (1) a smart route planning system; (2) the development of technology enabling autonomous vehicles to recognise commands from on-site traffic control personnel; (3) an automated integrated traffic data monitoring system; and (4) a driving and speed guidance system for heavy goods vehicles. Details of the projects are available on the Fund's website (www.stf.hkpc.org).
The Fund accepts applications throughout the year to provide funding support to local organisations and enterprises for conducting research and applying innovation and technology, with the objectives of enhancing commuting convenience, enhancing the efficiency of the road network or road space, and improving driving safety. All applications are considered and assessed in batches by the Management Committee, which is chaired by the Deputy Commissioner for Transport/Planning and Technical Services and comprises representatives from the Government, experts in the industry and relevant stakeholders.
The TD appeals to interested organisations and enterprises to participate to help make the Fund a success and to build Hong Kong into a more liveable and sustainable city by driving Hong Kong toward a new era of transportation.
Application details are available on the Fund's website. For enquiries, please contact the Hong Kong Productivity Council, the Secretariat of the Fund, on 2788 5536 or stf_sec@hkpc.org.
