Smart Traffic Fund approves five projects
*****************************************
The five approved projects in the latest batch cover: (1) an artificial intelligence (AI) vehicle type detection system riding on a fusion of satellite and multisource geospatial data; (2) an intoxication detection method analysing linguistic behaviour of motorists for fleet driving safety management; (3) a vehicle detection and alert system installed at roadsides to enhance driving safety at bending sections of roads; (4) adoption of a fiber-reinforced polymer composite material for roadside crash barriers; and (5) real-time traffic management for mega events using AI of Things technology. 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 for participation 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.
